Title: CTH Version 11.0

Software ·
OSTI ID:1231985

The CTH suite of computer codes is a flexible software system designed to treat a wide range of shock wave propagation and material motion phenomena in one, two or three dimensions. CTH has models suitable for most conditions encountered in shock physics including material strength, fracture, distended materials, high explosives, and a variety of boundary conditions. The material equation-of-state models allow description of most states of matter normally encountered in shock physics. A powerful suite of on-the-fly and post-processing analysis options are available which can generate three-dimensional, two-dimensional, and one-dimensional color and contour plots. History plots of thermo-mechanical data at spatially fixed and material fixed points can be generated. CTH is available for a variety of computers ranging from a single PC to massively-parallel distributed-data systems.
