Computational Activities

Researchers at CEAM are engaged in the development of effective computaion algorithms and performing large-scale computational simulation of structural response and failure modes. Some of the tools at their disposal are listed below:

Hardware:

  • San Diego Supercomputer Center
  • Sun SPARC station, etc.

Software:

  • LabView
  • Ansoft HFSS
  • CST Microwave Studio
  • MATLAB
  • Vu-Point
  • DYNA2D and DYNA3D
  • LS-DYNA
  • PRONTO
  • ABAQUS
  • NIKE2D , etc.

Example:

  • Implosion of a copper cylinder
