General
Ansys LS-DYNA is an advanced multi-physics, multi-scale solver with multi-step capabilities featuring great model scalability, all combined in one solver. Allowing you to tackle complex, highly non-linear, physics problems. Enabling solutions of highly detailed, realistic, and large finite element models. All the different solvers in LS-DYNA allows for solving fluid, electromagnetic and structural problems. Structural problems ranges from impact scenarios to fatigue/NVH. If needed, all coupled with one model of the geometry. Ansys LS-DYNA large library of different element and contact formulations together with over 300 different material models enables the simulation of complex models at different accuracy levels.
Ansys LS-DYNA - Explicit
Ansys LS-DYNA is the most used explicit simulation software in the world. The proven explicit solver has the capability to simulate material response under fast and severe loading. The vast library of different options in Ansys LS-DYNA allow the user to adapt the modelling to the level of accuracy required.
The Explicit Guide
The Technical Guide for Explicit Analyses using Ansys LS-DYNA is a maintained, regularly updated, document. This document aims to help the users to set up explicit models using selected keywords in LS-DYNA and to choose control settings. This comprehensive guide, including example models, has been developed to help you get started and serve as a reference for your everyday work with LS-DYNA. Moreover, it describes how to set up some common analysis types, e.g. crash, impacts, quasi static and dynamic loadings. This includes suggestions regarding element types, contacts, control settings etc. The idea is that the methods and settings described in this guide can serve as a good starting point when building similar models for simulation using the explicit solver in Ansys LS-DYNA.
