Simulate Crush in Energy-Absorbing
Composite Structures
CZone for Abaqus is a new add-on capability to Abaqus/Explicit that provides access to a state-of-the-art methodology for crush simulation of composite structures. Based on CZone technology from Engenuity Ltd., and targeted toward the design of composite components and assemblies in the Automotive and Aerospace industries, CZone for Abaqus provides for inclusion of material crush behavior in FEA simulations of composite structures subjected to impact.
CZone for Abaqus represents the next step in extending crash simulation capabilities with Abaqus, both complementing and leveraging existing Abaqus capabilities for composite failure analysis. CZone for Abaqus enables simulation of both the crushing response and the behavior of the composite structure outside the crush zone, including the potential for and effects of other damage and failure mechanisms that may develop.
