Explicit Dynamics — Ansys
is a specialized numerical simulation tool designed to model short-duration, highly nonlinear events such as impacts, crashes, and explosions. Unlike traditional static or implicit analysis, which focuses on equilibrium, explicit dynamics uses a forward-looking mathematical approach to track the physics of an event millisecond by millisecond. Core Concept: Explicit vs. Implicit Methods
To prepare a feature for (typically found within ANSYS Workbench via the Explicit Dynamics system), you must set up the simulation environment to handle high-speed, short-duration events. ansys explicit dynamics

Ansys Explicit Dynamics provides several advanced solvers and features to handle extreme physics: What is Explicit Dynamics? | Ansys Implicit Methods To prepare a feature for (typically
The solver is the same core engine as (for many features), but packaged within the Ansys Mechanical UI for easier use. For advanced users, LS-DYNA still offers more material models and control features.
Ansys is steadily moving LS-DYNA features into the Explicit Dynamics UI, including:
