14.9 Air blast pressure load output

Products: Abaqus/Explicit Abaqus/CAE

Benefits: The incident wave pressure field output for shock waves using the CONWEP model is now available in Abaqus/Explicit.

Description: Pressure loading due to an incident shock wave caused by an air explosion is calculated using the CONWEP model in Abaqus/Explicit. The new element field output variable IWCONWEP can now be requested on the element faces on which you apply this type of pressure load.

Abaqus/CAE Usage:

Step module:
    Field output request editor: Output Variables: Forces/Reactions: IWCONWEP
