Simulating LD45 foam in a drop test

Simulating LD45 foam in a drop test

Simulating LD45 foam in a drop test

(OP)
Hello, I currently have the need to carry out a drop test of a case with an internal foam cutout that supports a customers product with the view to find the accelerations excreted onto the product supported by the foam inside the case.

This is a customer request and am not sure if this is going to be something that's possible. Any advice is welcome!

Thanks

RE: Simulating LD45 foam in a drop test

Definitely possible, just make sure that your solver can model foam and is capable of performing time-dependent analysis. Two methods are:
-Explicit analysis such as LS-DYNA
-Implicit-transient analysis

We previously evaluated a carry case to demonstrate software capability. If required we could recover accelerations of the contents of the case
