As a simulation engineer with extensive experience in explicit dynamics and material modeling, I created this resource to address a common challenge: finding reliable, high-quality material models tailored for simulations. Over years of work, I've gathered materials from research papers, forums, and personal experiments, aiming to build a database for simulation-ready Johnson and Cook models.
This collection provides over 150 material models optimized for software like Ansys Explicit Dynamics and LS-DYNA, with continual updates. Each model includes original source links when possible, giving due credit and offering deeper context. Explore the collection to find materials that integrate seamlessly into your projects, filling a long-standing gap in accessible resources for simulation engineers.
Access over 150 simulation-ready XML materials, including Al 7075, RHA, Tungsten Alloy, Cast Iron, and Steel 4340. Our collection spans verified research, community contributions, and custom tests, offering a broad, unique selection for all your explicit dynamics needs.
Explore materials with visualized Johnson-Cook Strength and Failure parameters, isotropic properties, and Grüneisen EOS parameters. Get comprehensive data, including shear modulus, bulk modulus, and hardness, for accurate, high-fidelity simulations.
Seamlessly integrate with Ansys Explicit Dynamics using our downloadable XML files, organized into Free, Basic, Standard, and Premium tiers. Tailor your choices from base properties to advanced, parameter-rich models for precision in every simulation.
Access a growing library of detailed CAD models, including projectiles, targets, and full experimental setups. All files are available in industry-standard .STEP format and optimized for use in SpaceClaim. Whether you're prototyping or building complex test environments, these ready-to-use models help streamline your simulation pipeline and reduce setup time.
Currently in development – stay tuned for the first release.
Enhance your workflow with browser-based engineering tools, from unit converters and drop height calculators
to advanced solvers like ballistic trajectory and Lanz-Odermatt predictors.
These utilities offer quick, practical support for simulations, with more modules—such as penetration and strain rate estimators—coming soon.
This feature is actively being built and will roll out progressively.
