How to perform Blast Load Analysis

Dear STKO Team,
I want to perform Blast Load Analysis on my Steel Frame Model, can you provide me with some insights rather steps that I can follow.

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Dear user,
you will have to use a transient integrator:

If you search in the forum "Explicit" you can get some tips.
Best regards

We gave a webinar on nonlinear time history analysis here:

#018 Nonlinear Time History Analysis (Thurs January 21, 2021)

In the last part, we made a brief introduction on explicit dynamics, and the example was exactly what you are looking for (though not for steel but for masonry, but the concept is the same).
