AeroFEM
Blast and impact simulation for glazing systems
The problem
Glazing is where a blast reaches people
A façade under blast or impact loading fails at its glazing first, and the response depends on the load, the pane dimensions and the way the layers are built up.
AeroFEM Dynamics computes that response from a defined load and a defined glazing configuration, and produces a report from it.
What the analysis coversLoad · dimensions and layers · damping · report
The scenario is set before anything runs: the load definition used for the glazing calculation, the window dimensions and the glazing layers, and a damping selection.
The defined scenario is then executed, the computed response inspected, and the report generated from it — the same sequence whether it is run locally or through the browser interface.
This is a defined glazing analysis rather than a general structural tool. It is the one application the reviewed workflow covers.
Product overview
AeroFEM brings a defined glazing analysis into local and browser-based workflows: configure the load and glazing system, run the calculation, inspect computed response and prepare a report.
Status
Demonstrated glazing application · commercial availability not confirmed
Evidence boundary
Simulation footage is not a certification test. Commercial availability is not confirmed.
Capabilities
- Load definition
- Glazing configuration
- Computed blast and impact response
- Browser workflow
- Report generation
Computed glazing response under a defined blast load.
What the clip shows
A glazing-system finite-element model responds to a blast load. This is a simulation of a defined scenario, not a certification test, and nothing in it establishes standards compliance or a certified glazing build-up.
A localised load applied to a glazing panel.
What the clip shows
An impact simulation applies a localised load to a glazing panel — the second of the two demonstrated load cases. As with the blast case, it is a computed response and not a test result.
The same defined glazing task, configured and submitted through a browser.
What the clip shows
AeroFEM Cloud puts the defined glazing workflow behind a focused browser interface: the form configures the simulation, the task is submitted and its progress followed, and the generated report is presented at the end. The footage is evidence for configuration, submission, progress and report delivery only. It does not establish hosting, availability or service terms.
The demonstrated workflow
Define the load, configure the glazing, run and report
The reviewed workflow stays within one glazing analysis: a defined load, a defined window, the computed response and the report generated from it. The same defined task is what the browser interface carries.
01
Define
Enter the load definition used for the glazing calculation, before the run starts.
02
Configure
Set the window dimensions and the glazing layers. The demonstrated configuration also includes a damping selection.
03
Run and review
Execute the defined scenario, inspect the computed response, and generate the report.
04
Deliver
The same task runs through the browser interface, where progress is followed and the finished report is presented for download.
“Simulation footage is not a certification test.”
What the footage showsTwo load cases, one browser flow
- Blast and impact
- Two demonstrated load cases on glazing systems: a blast load across the panel, and a localised impact. Both are computed responses.
- Local and browser
- The same defined analysis is shown twice — run locally, and configured and submitted through the browser interface with the report returned at the end.
What this does not establishNot a certification test · one application · availability unconfirmed
- Simulation footage is not a certification test. Nothing here establishes standards compliance, a certified glazing build-up, or a threat rating.
- The evidence covers one defined glazing application. It does not establish general structural coverage.
- Commercial availability, hosting and service terms are not asserted.
