Analysis Capabilities

LS-DYNA is a multi-purpose, explicit and implicit finite element program used to analyze linear and nonlinear static and dynamic behavior of physical procedures. The main capabilities of LS-DYNA are

• Nonlinear Dynamics
• Parallel Processing (SMP, MPP)
• Explicit and Implicit Time-Stepping
• Eigenvalue Analysis
• Adaptive Mesh Refinement
• Thermal Analysis
• Fluid Dynamics
• Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE)
• Fluid-Structure Interaction
• Failure Analysis
• Crack Propagation
• Fully Automated Contact Analysis
• Quasi-Static Simulations
• FEM to Rigid Multi-Body Dynamics Coupling
• Real-Time Acoustics
• Multi-Physics Coupling (structural, thermal fluid, acoustics, etc.)
• Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH)
