Altair Radioss is an explicit dynamics simulation solver used to analyse highly dynamic events involving large deformations, high speeds, and complex contact interactions. It is designed to accurately simulate transient, non-linear physical behaviour.

Altair Radioss is used to simulate impact, crash, drop, blast, and other high-energy events. Engineers rely on it to understand how structures and materials behave under extreme loading conditions over very short time periods.

Altair Radioss supports simulations involving crashworthiness, impact analysis, drop testing, forming processes, and other non-linear dynamic events. These simulations help engineers assess structural integrity, deformation, and energy absorption.

Explicit dynamics simulation is essential when analysing fast, highly non-linear events where traditional static or implicit solvers are not suitable. Altair Radioss enables accurate modelling of these scenarios by solving motion and contact behaviour over small time increments.

Altair Radioss is commonly used in automotive, aerospace, defence, manufacturing, and consumer product industries. It is particularly valuable in applications where safety, impact resistance, and structural response under extreme conditions are critical.

Altair Radioss includes advanced material models that allow engineers to simulate material failure, plastic deformation, and energy dissipation. This helps predict how materials behave when subjected to high strain rates and severe loading.

Altair Radioss is widely used for safety-related simulations such as vehicle crash analysis and impact studies. These simulations help engineers evaluate structural response and deformation patterns under collision scenarios.

Altair Radioss is typically used after model preparation in a pre-processing tool and before result interpretation in post-processing software. It forms part of a broader simulation workflow focused on validating behaviour under dynamic conditions.

Altair Radioss enables engineers to study complex dynamic events digitally, reducing the need for repeated physical testing. It supports informed design decisions by providing insight into deformation, stress distribution, and energy absorption during extreme events.
