Defining detonation points for an explosive material

You can define any number of detonation points for an explosive material. Coordinates of the points must be defined along with a detonation delay time. Each material point responds to the first detonation point that it sees. For more information, see JWL High Explosive Equation of State.

  1. Define a Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) equation of state, as described in Defining an equation of state.”
  2. From the Suboptions menu in the Edit Material dialog box, select Detonation Point.

    A Suboption Editor appears.

  3. Enter the following data in the Data table:

    X

    Coordinate 1 of the detonation point.

    Y

    Coordinate 2 of the detonation point.

    Z

    Coordinate 3 of the detonation point.

    Detonation Delay Time

    Detonation delay time (total time, as defined in Conventions). The default is 0.

    For detailed information on how to enter data, see Entering tabular data.

  4. Click OK to return to the Edit Material dialog box.
