Drop Testing or Impact Testing is the simulation analysis of a product impacting with a surface.  This is critical in manufacturing design.  Concerns in manufacturing:

• Design these products wherein certain components act as energy absorbers on impact, thereby protecting vital components.

• The damaged components manufactured as energy absorbers can then be repaired or replaced

• Analysis simulation is to produce a model capable of predicting stresses and strains on the components thereby saving production time and expense..

LS-DYNA's  flexibility to provide user-definition of key parameters is a major factor in simulating drop/impact analysis.  This flexibility offers engineers the capability to develop  products with reliability performance.
