What does designing hurricane-proof buildings have to do with heart surgery and light beer? Surprisingly, the answer lies in a groundbreaking computer code developed more than 50 years ago.
A code so powerful that automakers use it for car crash simulations, beer manufacturers rely on it to design cans, and surgeons turn to it to understand how fluid flows through the heart.
This is the untold story of DYNA3D—a revolutionary code that transformed industries by simulating real-world physics and reshaped innovation as we know it.
