Introduction to Ansys Mechanical LS-DYNA

The LS-DYNA training course for Ansys Workbench provides a comprehensive introduction to using LS-DYNA within the Workbench Mechanical environment, focusing on explicit analysis and nonlinear simulations. Participants will learn to address complex problems such as contact, large deformation, nonlinear materials, transient response, crash and drop test simulations, and forming processes.

Basic understanding of dynamics, mechanics of materials, material modeling, and the physics of transient dynamic events are recommended. The training is suitable for users facing challenges with converging contact problems, impact analyses, non-linear buckling, folding behavior, and material fracture simulations.

Focus areas:

• Introduction to explicit time integration.
• Engineering data and material models, including nonlinear material behavior.
• Connections and keyword input command snippets.
• Element formulations and selection for explicit analysis.
• Meshing strategies for solid, shell, and beam elements.
• Assessing Results in Ansys Mechanical and LS-PrePost
