Man Portable Anti Tank Missiles Training Package: 6 Projects by ANSYS Discovery

Description

1. Introduction

Nowadays, Man Portable Anti Tank Missiles play a crucial and decisive role in direct combat. The ability to destroy enemy tanks with a small, portable weapon greatly increases the effectiveness and importance of this class of weapons. Among the most well-known anti-armor systems in this category are the Javelin and NLAW, which are similar in principle of operation but differ in certain features such as range and reusability.

2. Objectives

What you will see in this training package is an exceptional use of the real-time simulation capabilities of ANSYS Discovery for Anti Tank Missiles. We use features such as Parametric Design to instantly evaluate the impact of Tail Fin Configuration and Nose Cone Configuration on the aerodynamics of these weapons, as well as their Flight Path Deviation.

3. Summary

After reviewing this training package, you will realize the undeniable importance of design and of seeing the immediate impact of design changes in simulation results. For example, in the table shown, we extracted the results of changing the tail fin angle of the Javelin and observed how each degree of change produces a certain amount of deviation in the weapon’s direction of travel.
