Blast Simulation: FSI vs Load as Pressure

[TheSymbol]

Hi all,

Planning to do an Blast simulation on a vehicle.
Should I go for FSI or Use the load as pressure.
Please throw some light on the same.

Thank you,

Have a look at vehicle impact standards in your national code to see how they treat impulsive forces on barriers, bridges and other structures due to impact.
The UK codes state a specific applied load. There is much TRL research about this published.

This sort of thing is mostly still done uncoupled.
LS-DYNA does have FSI capability for blast, specifically, but it is rather new.
