Simulation for survivability, protection and demanding structural events.
Defence programmes often combine extreme transient loading, complex materials, severe acceptance criteria and limited opportunities for full-scale testing. We use advanced simulation to make those behaviours visible and support design decisions earlier.
Discuss a requirement
Understand the event before committing to the test.
Blast, impact, rollover and shock can develop over milliseconds and involve rapidly changing contact, material failure and load paths. Simulation provides a way to interrogate those mechanisms throughout the event, rather than relying on a final deformation state alone.
We can support concept development, design iteration, test preparation and independent technical review while tailoring the modelling fidelity to the evidence the programme actually needs.
Blast & survivability
Mine blast, air blast and protective-system response.
Armoured structures
Load transfer, local failure and structural integrity of protective assemblies.
Rollover & crash
Whole-system motion and protective-structure performance.
Shock & FSI
Pressure-wave propagation, coupled loading and structural response.
From local protection to wider structural response.
Assessments can address the immediate effects of a transient event and the loading transmitted through the structure to connected components and equipment.
Vehicle survivability
Blast, impact, rollover and structural protection for land platforms.
Protection systems
Metallic, composite, ceramic and layered protective assemblies.
Shock response
Transient loading and response of structures and equipment.
Independent review
Technical guidance and independent scrutiny of modelling methods and conclusions.
Analysis built around the requirement.
Our assessments address the specified loading environment, material behaviour, structural interfaces and applicable acceptance criteria. Modelling assumptions and verification evidence are documented to support traceable engineering conclusions.
