PAM-SHOCK(tm) is a Finite Element software for fast tansient dynamics (impact velocities ranging from 1,000 to 100,000m/s). Key options include an Arbitrary Lagrange Euler formulation necessary for fluid / structure interaction and eroding contact interfaces needed for oblique impact situations. PAM-SHOCK allows to solve complex impact problems, such as ballistic impacts, explosions or bird strike.
A special version of PAM-SHOCK, coupled with PAM-FLOW, is also available for solving problems where both fluid and structural dynamics problems are of equal importance. Typical applications of this version include airbags, parasol, etc.
Minimum Hardware Prerequisite: INDY SC or PC (or older with Z-Buffer) +32MB memory.
