ACE has developed a modeling package specifically for the simulation of High Explosive Detonation Events in urban settings.  XBAM is the first software package to use computational modeling specifically for the evaluation and planning of explosion events within an urban environment.  XBAM correctly predicts complex blast phenomena such as focusing and shielding, which cannot accurately be produced by programs using the older technology of blast curves.  A consequence footprint model is built into XBAM to give insight into where certain levels of damage and injuries should be expected.

XBAM uses state-of-the-art Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology and brings its power and accuracy to the city planner or first responder without that individual having to be familiar with computational modeling.
