A multi-dimensional material response simulation of the heat shield of the DragonFly capsule is per- formed. The material response includes mass, momentum, and energy equations. The heat flux and pressure profiles extracted from flow field simulations along the trajectory are used as boundary con- ditions for simulation. The results from the simulation are presented and are thoroughly studied to evaluate the complete behavior of the heat shield during the entry.
