LS-DYNA
On this page, you will learn what LS-DYNA is and for which analyses the program package can be used.
You will also find information on pre- and post-processing as well as important notes on licensing.
What is LS-DYNA?
LS-DYNA is an explicit finite element analysis program package that can be used for nonlinear, dynamic, three-dimensional mechanical structures. The implemented material models range from ferrous materials, with e.g. anisotropic plasticity, to a variety of plastic/foam models to fiber composites or even hydrodynamic models. User-defined material models can also be used.
Pre- and Postprocessing
For pre- and post-processing, an existing pre- or post-processor or any other meshing program (HyperMesh, I-DEAS) can be used. LS-DYNA offers LS-INGRID (3d preprocessor), LS-TAURUS and LS-POST (3d postprocessors) for this purpose.
| This is LS-DYNA from the manufacturer LSTC. Please do not confuse it with the LS-DYNA licenses from Ansys. The two variants are largely identical. However, there are a few differences. For example, our version cannot be started from the Ansys Workbench. |
Support
Users receive unlimited user support from the manufacturer. You can find the necessary information at the IT Service Desk.
