LS-DYNA is a highly advanced general purpose nonlinear finite element program that is capable of simulating complex real world problems. The distributed and shared memory solver provides very short turnaround times ondesktop computers and clusters operated using Linux, Windows, and UNIX.
One-Code-Strategy
LS-DYNA aims to provide methods to seamlessly solve problems requiring ”Multi-Physics”, ”Multi-Processing”, ”Multiple Stages”, ”Multi-Scale”.
LS-DYNA is suitable to investigate phenomena involving large deformations, sophisticated material models and complex contact conditions for structural dynamics problems.
LS-DYNA allows switching between explicit and different implicit time stepping schemes. Disparate disciplines, such as coupled thermal analyses, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), fluid-structure interaction, Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), Element Free Galerkin (EFG), Corpuscular Method (CPM), and the Boundary Element Method (BEM) can be combined with structural dynamics.
