Explicit Solution (Explicit Dynamics)
– Focus on local response and wave propagation
– Well suited to simulate short dynamic events
Implicit Solution (Structural Dynamics, aka Mechanical)
– Focus more on global response
– Suitable for static analysis, slower process or linear dynamics such as modal, harmonic…

Implicit Solution
• Convergence controls.
- NR Iterations at t
• Solution time is unknown.
Explicit Solution
• Time step size controls.
- The CFL condition
- No iteration at t
• Solution time can be
predicted.
