Sanitized Case Study: Coupled Crash Simulation

Jan 15, 2024 1 min read case-study, structures, fsi

Reducing run time while preserving structural fidelity.

A complex crash simulation suffered from unstable coupling and a 12-hour runtime. We reworked the contact strategy, introduced targeted subcycling, and reduced runtime by 38% without sacrificing accuracy.

Outcomes

  • Stable coupling across the critical window.
  • 38% runtime reduction.
  • Clear validation traceability for stakeholder review.
