I tried to use LSPOST to compare the strain state with FLD. When I selected the element and clicked the plot button, nothing was plotted. What was the problem?

You need to output the strain and strain components during the forming simulation. You can output strain data by setting…

If a converged solution from springback prediction cannot be obtained after trying many different combinations of parameters, what else can I do?

Use dynamic relaxation method. Usually this is not necessary. For most of the application jobs, converged solutions can be obtained…

If I didn’t find wrinkling and strain localization in from my simulation, can I say that my design is good?

For most of the problem, the answer is yes. When we form a part by using die and punch, to…

If I use very coarse mesh for the pre-deformation (such as pre-bending, gravity loading etc), and then refine the mesh in the later forming analysis. Will it result in obvious numerical error for the final results?

With coarse mesh, it is very efficient to obtain results for the pre-deformation. However, if the mesh is too coarse,…

If localized necking occurs what can I do to get rid of it?

Localized necking is the result of too much stretching. There are two possible ways to avoid localized necking, i.e. 1)…

If wrinkling occurs, what can I do to get rid of it?

Since wrinkling result from compressive stress, it is possible to decrease wrinkling by increasing stretching. Two commonly practices are: increase…

I’ve found that when I use several CPUs with the SMP code that only one CPU is working and the other CPUs are idle. What is the problem and how can it be corrected?

In the forming analysis, sometimes when the mesh is distorted, the slave node is pushed too far away from its…

I just have one IGES file for the part, and I don’t want to offset the surface for the punch and die physically. Is it possible to offset the two surfaces internally inside LSDYNA3D? If yes, how do you offset these two surfaces?

In industry, only the profile for the die is given as an IGES file, and there is no IGS file…

How do you trim the blank after a forming analysis?

Usually the blank can be trimmed after forming simulation with an intermediate file – “dynain”. The following is a list…
