Radioss provides a comprehensive set of features designed to ensure extremely accurate and robust simulations, even under extreme conditions.
From advanced material modeling to complex geometries, from electric vehicle crash scenarios to occupant safety, Radioss stands out for its reliability and completeness—making it a critical tool for engineers engaged in high-end design tasks.

Accurate material behavior modeling is crucial for reliable simulations. Radioss offers an extensive library of constitutive laws and failure criteria, ideal for modeling crack propagation and damage in a wide range of materials.
Non-local damage modeling enables predictive fracture simulation in ductile materials, while specific brittle failure models—for laminated glass, for example—accurately capture complex events such as windshield impacts.
This level of detail makes Radioss particularly effective in structural robustness studies and design optimization.

Radioss features advanced finite element formulations that ensure high numerical accuracy, even under challenging conditions.
These include shell elements with delamination tracking for composite materials—essential for fiber-reinforced component analysis—parabolic tetrahedral elements for better geometric fidelity, and under-integrated solid and shell elements with advanced stabilization methods to maintain numerical stability under large deformations.

As the automotive industry shifts toward electrification, Radioss meets new engineering challenges with dedicated battery and module modeling capabilities.
It allows engineers to simulate complex crash and road debris impact scenarios, including potential intrusions into battery packs.
Simulations can account for mechanical failures leading to internal short circuits, thermal runaway initiation, and fire hazards providing a realistic assessment of BEV safety risks.

Radioss offers one of the most comprehensive occupant safety libraries available.
It includes ATD dummies, regulatory barriers, and impactors—developed in collaboration with industry leaders such as Humanetics and CellBond.
Full compatibility with systems like MADYMO ensures seamless integration of multibody models, enabling deeper biomechanical response analysis during impact scenarios.

Airbag deployment is a highly dynamic event requiring fast simulation times and high accuracy.
Radioss meets this challenge with Finite Volume Method (FVM) technology, enabling precise simulation of airbag inflation, occupant interaction, and the effect of complex geometries on deployment timing.
This results in highly realistic predictive performance, essential for developing next-generation restraint systems.

To support large-scale simulation projects, Radioss is fully integrated with Altair PBS Professional, a high-performance workload management system.
This enables efficient job scheduling, resource distribution, and performance optimization across complex, heterogeneous infrastructures—maximizing productivity even with highly complex simulation models.
