Simulating Impact: Bullet Crash in Ansys LS-Dyna with FSI coupling
See how high-speed impacts are modeled for real-world testing – in minutes.
- Description:
Crashes happen fast and simulating them should be just as fast. In this kickoff session, we’ll walk you through how engineers simulate a high-velocity bullet impact using Ansys LS-DYNA and FSI coupling. From model setup to result visualization, see how automation tools help streamline what used to be a complex, multi-step workflow into an efficient and robust process. Whether you work in defense, automotive, or R&D, this session will show you what’s possible with modern explicit dynamics. - Episode Highlights:
- Modeling explicit dynamics scenarios like bullet or vehicle impact
- Using Ansys LS-DYNA for fast setup and simulation of crash events
- Applying automation tools to reduce preprocessing time
- Visualization of fluid-structure interaction effects like shockwaves, deformation, and penetration in real time
- Applications in defense, automotive, or material testing workflows
- Radu's Message:
"In this session, I’ll share how we usually set up and run an impact simulation in Ansys LS-DYNA and FSI coupling, using a few tools that help make the process quicker and more organized."
Episode 2: July 1
Build Secure Quantum Links: CV-QKD Design with Ansys Lumerical INTERCONNECT
Quantum-safe communication starts with simulation.
-
- Description:
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is redefining how we secure data in the era of quantum computing. In this hands-on episode, we’ll explore how to simulate a Continuous Variable QKD (CV-QKD) system inside Ansys Lumerical INTERCONNECT and show how the latter enables you to calculate critical metrics like transmittivity, signal‑to‑noise ratio, excess noise, and ultimately the secret key rate. Learn how to calibrate shot noise, extract performance parameters, and evaluate key‑rate feasibility all within a streamlined, accessible workflow. - Episode Highlights:
- Simulating CV-QKD photonic circuits (Alice, Bob, and quantum channel)
- Integrating modulation, transmission, and detection components
- Paschalis's Message: "This webinar is your fast-track to understanding and simulating a full QKD system using Ansys Lumerical, no quantum PhD required."

Material Intelligence in R&D: Leveraging Ansys Granta
What if your team never had to guess, retest, or dig through spreadsheets just to find the right material data?
-
- Description:
Accelerating product development while meeting strict performance, cost, and compliance goals is a constant challenge, especially when materials data is scattered, outdated, or unreliable. In this webinar, discover how Ansys Granta helps engineering teams take control of materials information. By consolidating data into a centralized, reliable platform, Ansys Granta enables smarter decisions and supports digital transformation across design, simulation, and manufacturing. - Episode Highlights:
- Streamlining material selection for performance, cost, weight, and compliance.
- Improving simulation accuracy using validated, consistent materials data.
- Reducing redundant testing by reusing and sharing trusted materials data.
- Supporting sustainability and regulatory goals from the earliest design stages.
- Olia's Message:
"Are you spending hours hunting for materials data? With Ansys Granta, it’s all in one place, reliable, accessible, and ready to use."
