LS-DYNA is regarded as one of the world’s most powerful software tools for structural simulation – both in terms of possible model sizes, achievable speed-up in parallelization for cluster systems, and the availability of complex and specialized material models. This offered functionality is extended towards many application areas when coupled systems, e.g. thermal, electromagnetic, or fluid dynamic problems, play a significant role.
Access to high-quality material data down to the failure and fracture range is critical for the predictive capability of corresponding simulation calculations, enabling the identification of all necessary model parameters and ultimately the successful calibration of material models. To this end, DYNAmore has in recent years advanced the data acquisition from experiments and the efficient parameterization of material models and recently bundled the competences of our employees with the move to new premises and the creation of a Material Competence Center in Leinfelden-Echterdingen at one location.
Furthermore we see our competence in the calibrated transfer of simulation process data from component manufacturing (injection moulding, extrusion, forming, heat treatment, hot forming, casting, solid forming, draping, etc.) into downstream component or full scale simulations (crash, impact, stiffness, etc.). For this purpose we regularly use our process mapper ENVYO, a DYNAmore in-house development.
The mechanical properties of many materials that are required for simulation are often unknown. Defining these precisely is typically very expensive and often involves a considerable wait. In contrast, the experiments we select in accordance with the specific requirements of the client provide a quick and reliable basis for generating predictive material cards for polymers, metals and composite materials.
