This document introduces the theoretical knowledge of Dytran 2022.2
This document explains the theoretical foundations of Dytran 2022.2, including implicit and explicit solution methods, material models, and solver techniques. It is intended for users familiar with finite element analysis who need to understand how Dytran handles dynamic simulations. The guide covers topics such as Lagrangian and Eulerian solvers, plasticity models, equations of state, and failure criteria. It is not a step-by-step tutorial but a reference for understanding the underlying physics and numerical methods.
The concepts, methods, and examples presented in this text are for illustrative and educational purposes only and are not intended to be exhaustive or to apply to any particular engineering problem or design.
Readers with technical problems, issues, or queries should contact Technical Support rather than using the documentation feedback email address.
