KB: finite-element software for shock hydrodynamics and detonations
KB is the ultimate resource for simulations of matter at high temperature and pressure. The software suite includes programs for 1D and 2D calculations of shock hydrodynamics and detonations as well as an extensive reference library of material properties. Applications include high-pressure shock research, gas guns, supersonic nozzles, personnel protection, underwater detonations and the design of precision high-explosive assemblies. The interactive programs are easy to learn and have powerful graphics capabilities. The KB package includes complete documentation with tutorials, ready-to-run examples and reviews of essential physics. (Available for all versions of Windows)
Features
1) KB1 code handles 1D planar, cylindrical and spherical geometries. KB2 performs 2D Lagrangian simulations in planar and cylindrical geometries.
2) Low single-time purchase price. Special educational prices for classroom use.
3) Self-contained package includes conformal mesh generator with DXF import and internal drawing editor for 2D simulations.
4) Includes collection of 145 EOS tables for materials at extreme pressure and temperature (adapted from the LANL Sesame Tables).
5) Interactive graphical postprocessors for quick and accurate analyses of results.
6) Hardcopy support for all Windows print devices (including color printers).
7) Easy to learn. Includes a library of ready-to-run input files for a variety of hydrodynamic and detonation problems.
