Since computers and software have spread into all fields of industry, extensive efforts are currently made in order to improve the safety by applying certain numerical solutions. For many engineering problems involving shock and impact, there is no single ideal numerical method that can reproduce the various regimes of a problem. An approach wherein different techniques may be applied within a single numerical analysis can provide the "best" solution in terms of accuracy and efficiency. This paper presents a set of numerical simulations of ballistic tests which analyze the effects of soda lime glass laminates. The goal is to find an appropriate solver technique for simulating brittle materials and thereby improve bullet-proof glass to meet current challenges. To have the correct material model available is not enough. In this work, the main solver technologies are compared to create a perfect simulation model for soda lime glass laminates. The calculation should match ballistic trials and be used as the basis for further studies. These numerical simulations are performed with the nonlinear dynamic analysis computer code ANSYS AUTODYN.
