eta/VPG’s Drop Test Simulation Module (DTM) is used to automatically define all boundary conditions for a drop test, which is ideal for packaging design, cell phone development, laptop computer development and many other consumer products.  DTM can be accessed from eta/VPG’s main menu by selecting DTM.

Create a Series of Simulations in One Command
•  Drop, shock, vibration and pressure simulations
•  Different angles
•  Different drop heights
•  Automatically calculate parameters and define related LS-DYNA cards 

 Define Drop Direction

•  Specify G & Drop Height-determines initial velocity
•  CG is calculated and displayed once the DTM is entered
•  Easily define the Drop Direction  
•  Automatically orient the model so that the drop direction points to the –Z axis after it is defined

• 
  G Value
• •  DTM provides the default G value in current unit system
• •  DTM also gives an option for other value
• 
  Analysis Control
• •  Material library includes steel, aluminum, plastic, PCB and foam
• •  Simulation Start Height
• •  Duration time and steps in output
• •  Time history output, damping
• •  Batch Output
• •  Output a series input decks in similar conditions with different drop heights or angles
• •  Generate hundreds of thousands of elements in minutes.
• •  Reliable, proven results.
