9.4 CONWEP blast loading in Abaqus/Explicit

Product: Abaqus/Explicit  

Benefits: Structures subject to air blast loading can be analyzed efficiently using the CONWEP model. The required input is simple, and there is no need to model the fluid medium. The model is known to yield good results in air blast loading analyses.

Description: CONWEP loading allows you to impose pressure loading due to an explosion in air. The loading is defined by the location of the explosion, the time of detonation, and the loading surfaces. The following blast wave types are supported:

Other input includes the amount of explosives (equivalent mass of TNT).
