Sequential drop test simulations through automated process in Workbench LS-DYNA

Modeling drop tests of various goods has always been one of the classic problems for explicit structural dynamics. Current requirements for such tests often require the consideration of multiple sequential impacts, such as the procedures described by the International Safe Transit Association. CADFEM is investigating the possibilities of automating such sequential drop tests in the Workbench LS-DYNA environment. With the automated calculation of sequential drop tests, these can be integrated into optimization cycles.
