LS-DYNA® Consulting

LS-DYNA is akin to FEA on steroids. It presents the greatest flexibility and power of any FEA based analysis software and the greatest challenges for the analyst to construct an accurate model. Predictive Engineering has over the course of six years completed a number of highly successful LS-DYNA projects that have been experimentally correlated. Due to confidentiality, only a few projects are given within this section. The generation of accurate LS-DYNA models is the result of hard work, attending basic and advanced LS-DYNA courses in Livermore, CA, having a degreed analyst with a doctorate in mechanics and over 22 years experience with FEA, and a close working relationship with the Livermore Software Technology Corporation (LSTC) engineering team (and a bit of luck).

LS-DYNA is by far the world's best explicit analysis code for the simulation of severe nonlinear transient events. Model creation is done within Femap and then exported to LSTC's LS-Pre/Post for model tweaking and post-processing.
