With this seminar we aim to give you an overview of the possibilities and limits of implicit simulations using LS-DYNA. In recent years, the simulation possibilities in LS-DYNA using implicit time integration have been enhanced extensively. Some areas of application for implicit analyses include linear and non-linear static and transient dynamic computations, natural frequency analyses, springback and initialization of systems with preload. Good scalability is observed on many CPU cores, which allows for the treatment of large scale problems with millions of unknown degrees of freedom. The course is recommended for you if you intend to use LS-DYNA to carry out implicit simulations. Examples will be given during the seminar to illustrate the functionality of the implicit options.
