β¦ Synopsis
Today, nonlinear analysis is no longer new to finite element society, but the explicit finite element method could still be fresh. Since DYNASD was developed, the explicit finite element method for nonlinear transient dynamics has found its successful applications in automobile safety simulations.
Ford Motor Company is one of the pioneer industry companies that uses a great deal of CAE in product design and manufacturing. This helps Ford engineers make faster and better design, eliminates a large number of prototype vehicle tests and significantly reduces the costs.
