Switch2DYNA

LS-DYNA are increasingly common in the simulation of crash and pedestrian safety. This seminar is designed to enable simulation engineers already familiar with other relevant programs to switch to LS-DYNA quickly and efficiently.

Experienced users will be provided with a compact introduction to LS-DYNA simulation. As part of this seminar, specific settings and special properties of LS-DYNA will be discussed, and the various approaches to modelling and crash and occupant safety simulations outlined. Features differing from other programs will be mentioned specifically. Benefits and shortcomings of the individual approaches will be discussed.

Content:

  • LS-DYNA overview – special features
  • Determination of the time step size and mass scaling in LS-DYNA
  • Most important types of elements for solids, shells and beam elements
  • Contact modelling in LS-DYNA
  • Frequently used material models
  • Input and output formats, file organisation
  • Energy gradients, interpretation
  • Examples
