Curling ‘Double-Touch’ scandal rocks the rink at Winter Olympics: Simulation with LS-DYNA proves the difference of one deft touch

One of the most talked about controversies from the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic games revolved around accusations of teams “double-touching” the curling stone after its initial release. To quantify how even the slightest touch might alter the outcome of a curling match, we conducted two Ansys LS-Dyna simulations: one representing a perfectly clean release and the other including a minimal post-release force.

Q&A with an Explicit Dynamics Simulation expert – using simulation to meet MIL standards for fatigue, crash and blast scenarios

We recently sat down for a quick interview with Luke Mosse, Specialist Application Engineer at LEAP to find out more about his experience from simulating blast, crash & fatigue using Ansys LS-DYNA, Ansys Mechanical and nCode software.

The ‘industry standard’ for simulation of short-duration transient events

Do you need to simulate short-duration, transient events such as impacts, crashes, blasts or drop tests? Learn more about simulating these challenging engineering problems with Explicit Dynamics simulation with Ansys LS-DYNA and Autodyn.
