Explosion, Shock, and Impact Analysis
Design structures that protect lives and assets under extreme dynamic loading conditions with the help of simulations.
Explosions, shocks, and impacts create extreme dynamic loads that challenge conventional design approaches. Our advanced simulations predict structural response to these events, enabling designs that minimize damage and protect personnel.
While extreme events typically cause some structural damage, proper analysis ensures structures remain safe for occupants and the environment. We design energy-absorbing systems and replaceable components that protect critical infrastructure. Our simulations optimize protective structures from vehicle barriers to blast-resistant buildings.
With extensive computational resources and specialized expertise, we analyze everything from component-level impacts to full-scale structural assemblies, ensuring your designs meet stringent safety requirements.

Technical partnership with Valtra
Elomatic collaborates with Valtra in tractor product development and the design of production and testing equipment. The collaboration with Valtra began in the 1990s and has continued ever since.
Leaks and explosions
Preventing leaks, fires, and explosions by CFD modeling is an important part of process design and risk analysis. These analyses are widely used for modeling the consequences of various accidents. They are also important input data for designing different machinery and equipment, and for ensuring structural integrity.
