Update of PRONTO 2D and PRONTO 3D transient solid dynamics program
PRONTO 2D and PRONTO 3D are two- and three-dimensional transient solid dynamics codes for analyzing large deformations of highly nonlinear materials subjected to high strain rates. This newsletter is issued to document changes to these codes. As of this writing, the latest version of PRONTO 2D is Version 4.5.6, and the latest version of PRONTO 3D is Version 4.5.6. This update of the two codes discusses two major modifications to the numerical formulations, three new constitutive models, and the additions and improvements of contact surfaces. Changes in file formats, other miscellaneous revisions, and the availability of PRONTO 2D and PRONTO 3D are also discussed. In addition, updated commands for PRONTO 2D are provided in Appendix A of this newsletter. 29 refs., 12 figs., 2 tabs.
