Description
This talk will further investigate the difference between implicit and explicit finite elements solvers, and will then focus on the architecture of the explicit solvers. We will present the requirements in terms of integration steps and material models, the main fields of application of explicit tools, and practical examples of use at CERN for the simulation of large-deformation processes (design of fabrication processes) and extreme scenarios with change of phase, fragmentation and explosions, typical of particle beam impacts on accelerator structures.
