8.5 Smoothed particle hydrodynamic element

Product: Abaqus/Explicit  

Benefits: The new PC3D particle element allows for the analysis of violent free-surface flows and high deformation of solids via the smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) method.

Description: The new 1-node PC3D element is available in Abaqus/Explicit to be used as the basic building block in constructing models to be analyzed using the SPH method.
