Abaqus Explosion Simulation Tutorial | 100 kg TNT on Concrete Wall (CONWEP Explained) - Step by Step

Описание: In this tutorial, we perform a blast simulation of a concrete wall in Abaqus/Explicit using the CONWEP air-blast model. The video covers both the practical modelling steps and the core blast mechanics concepts behind the simulation.

We model a 50 m × 50 m concrete wall with a window opening and apply a 100 kg TNT explosion at a 10 m stand-off distance. The tutorial explains how blast pressure is generated, how cracking is modelled, and how structural response evolves under dynamic loading.

What you will learn

How CONWEP blast loading works in Abaqus

Difference between pressure loading and incident wave

How to define brittle cracking and shear retention
