Plan your next ArmorSim session
Our independent guide helps you extract the most insight from ArmorSim’s physics tools. By focusing on solver selection, material transparency, scene construction, visual analysis, and multilingual settings, you can deepen your understanding of terminal ballistics without needing external engineering software.
01 / THE GUIDE
Solver Speed Test
Run the same impact in Normal and Ultra modes. Note the time each solver takes and compare the crater detail. This highlights the trade‑off between speed and fidelity.
- Start with Normal to iterate quickly, then switch to Ultra for detailed crater analysis.
- Compare results between Advanced and Ultra to see how layered effects influence penetration.
02 / THE GUIDE
Material Source Review
Open the material table and list which constants are marked MEASURED versus ASSUMED. Prioritize measured materials for critical comparisons.
- Use the source tags to verify which materials have laboratory‑measured properties.
- When a material is marked unsupported, consider substituting a similar, documented option.
03 / THE GUIDE
Layered Armour Experiment
Build a stack with reactive armour followed by ceramic backing. Use Advanced mode to view per‑layer energy loss and identify which layer stops the projectile.
- Experiment with plate angles to see how ricochet criteria affect outcomes.
- Save multiple variations to compare how spacing influences residual velocity.
04 / THE GUIDE
Camera Angle Analysis
After a penetration, orbit the camera to capture plug ejection and fragment spread. Compare angles to see how deformation varies with impact direction.
- Use the free orbit camera to inspect plug ejection and fragment trajectories.
- Share replay files with peers to discuss differing armour setups.
05 / THE GUIDE
Language Clarity Check
Switch the interface to Русский or Deutsch and verify that terminology matches the English version, ensuring you understand material tags and solver options.
- Switch to your native language in settings for clearer terminology.
- Enable HDR if your display supports it for better visual distinction of metal deformation.
