What is Impact?

Impact

Impact is a super handy finite element program suite that helps you predict all sorts of dynamic events. Think about things like metal sheet punch operations or car crashes—these scenarios usually have high speeds and big changes in shape.

What Can You Do with Impact?

You can create simulations on a virtual 3D model. This model can be made using a pre-processor, or you can use the built-in Fembic language if you're feeling adventurous. After running your simulations, you can check out the results in a post-processor, making it easy to analyze what happened.

Easy Integration with Pre and Postprocessors

Impact is designed to work smoothly with its included pre and postprocessors right off the bat. But if you need something more advanced, there are options for other tools like GiD or Gmsh. Plus, it has basic support for the Nastran file format if that's what you prefer.

A Collaborative Effort

This software is developed by a team of volunteers from around the globe. Their goal? To create a clean and compact program that's simple for everyone to use.

Run It Anywhere

One cool thing about Impact is that it’s written in Java! That means you can run it on most hardware and operating systems without any issues.
