Explicit Dynamic Simulation of Tool Drop on the Outer Wing of the Swift020 Unmanned Aerial System using RADIOSS ® Keywords: RADIOSS, Impact Dynamic Analysis, Tool Drop, Limit Strain, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Background Numerical analysis and simulation is one of the many techniques used to reduce cost and design time in aerospace structural engineering. To take these techniques into explicit analysis (i.e. impact modeling) allows precise visualization of many dynamic events that have often been facilitated by expensive high speed video testing, non-destructive evaluation and lengthy trial and error efforts. The net result of these evaluations typically leads to increase in weight in order to reduce the risk. Swift Engineering, Inc., based in San Clemente, California is
