is the actual distance from the detonation center to the target (in feet or meters). is the equivalent weight of TNT (in pounds or kilograms). Once ConWep determines
: Evaluates the quasi-static pressure accumulation and vented pressure release within confined areas or tunnels.
Developed by the as an application of Technical Manual TM 5-855-1 ("Fundamentals of Protective Design for Conventional Weapons"), Conwep is an empirical algorithm system. It allows structural engineers, defense contractors, and military personnel to predict how conventional explosives impact structures and materials.
Predicting damage based on weapon type and distance. Key Features and Applications
Leo was a structural engineering PhD candidate. His research focused on retrofitting historic masonry buildings against terrorist attacks—a grim but necessary field of study. He needed to model how a specific type of shockwave interacted with aging brickwork. But the commercial software the university provided was clunky, prohibitively expensive to license fully, and currently spitting out error codes that looked like hieroglyphics.
: The software is built on the empirical equations and curves found in TM 5-855-1
Protection Engineering Consultants offers licensed versions and related tools designed for modern engineering workflows.
Once approved, you can download the installation package directly from the PDC portal.
If you are a student or hobbyist, you can implement Conwep manually using the equations from . Here is a simplified workflow:
