ANALYSIS TYPE

There are two types of analysis output:

LS-DYNA INPUT FILE

This function outputs analysis results as an LS-DYNA input deck.

FULL RUN DYNA

This function outputs an LS-DYNA input deck and submits it to LS-DYNA, which will be running in the background.

The user can select the type of analysis output by clicking on the toggle menu.

CONTROL PARAMETERS

This function allows the user to define the values of control parameters for running a stamping simulation using LS-DYNA. The user can edit the parameters by clicking on the CONTROL PARAMETERS icon from the ANALYSIS dialog window. The DYNA3D CONTROL PARAMETER dialog window is shown in Figure 13.1.2.
