LS-PrePost is constantly being further developed and new development trends can be incorporated quickly. The software can be installed quickly and can be implemented on every computer because no license is required.

LS-Run

LS-Run is a graphical control center to start LS-DYNA simulations. LS-Run is included in LS-Prepost from v4.3 and can be started via “File>Run LS-DYNA”.

Once LS-PrePost is closed, the LS-Run window will remain open for further job control.
