Drop Test Consulting

 

A drop test involves orienting an object with respect to an assumed gravitational field and allowing it to drop from some specified height under the influence of gravity onto a flat, rigid surface. It is significant in several industries. The first is in the nuclear industry, where the integrity of containers carrying radioactive waste must be insured during accident scenarios.

Another application is for any manufacturer producing a product that can be “dropped” while being used. Common products include handheld devices such as cell phones, computer mice, laptop computers, calculators, electronic instruments, etc. In each case, manufacturers want to develop a reputation for building rugged products, where they can be dropped and will still function properly.

JLR uses the Drop Test module of ANSYS in conjunction with the LS/Dyna software, which uses efficient explicit dynamics technology to solve for very rapid, highly nonlinear problems.

 

 

Detailed Consulting Submission

If you would like to submit a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Drop Test consulting, please fill out this form. If you have additional documents or zipped CAD files, you may send them to solutions@JLRcom.com.  Fill out as much or as little as you like on the form.
 

We have had great success with a combination of consulting and mentoring with ANSYS LS Dyna and Drop Test with recent clients.  This enables an experienced FEA engineer to come up to speed on the ANSYS LS Dyna product as well as learn application tricks specific to your model that allow you to get the most return on your investment in explicit dynamics.
