Automotive
Crashworthiness & Occupant Safety
LS-DYNA
is widely used by the automotive industry to analyze vehicle designs.
LS-DYNA accurately predicts a car's behavior in a collision and the
effects of the collision upon the car's occupants. With LS-DYNA,
automotive companies and their suppliers can test car designs without
having having to tool or experimentally test a prototype, thus saving
time and expense.
Sheet
Metal Forming With LS-DYNA
One of
LS-DYNA's most widely used applications is sheet metal forming. LS-DYNA
accurately predicts the stresses and deformations experienced by the
metal, and determines if the metal will fail. LS-DYNA supports adaptive
remeshing and will refine the mesh during the analysis, as necessary, to
increase accuracy and save time.
Metal
forming applications for LS-DYNA include:
Metal
stamping
Hydroforming
Forging
Deep drawing
Multi-stage processes
Aerospace
Industry Applications
LS-DYNA
is widely used by the aerospace industry to simulate bird strike, jet
engine blade containment, and structural failure.
Aerospace
applications for LS-DYNA include:
Blade
containment
Bird strike (windshield, and engine blade)
Failure analysis
LS-DYNA's
potential applications are numerous and can be tailored to many fields.
LS-DYNA is a general-purpose multiphysics simulation software package
and is not limited to any particular type of simulation. In a given
simulation any of LS-DYNA's many features can be combined to model a
wide range of physical events. An example of a simulation, which
involves a unique combination of features, is the NASA JPL Mars
Pathfinder landing simulation which simulated the space probe's use of
airbags to aid in its landing. LS-DYNA is one of the most flexible
finite element analysis software packages available.
Other
LS-DYNA applications include:
Drop
testing
Can and shipping container design
Electronic component design
Glass forming
Plastics, mold, and blow forming
Biomedical
Metal cutting
Earthquake engineering
Failure analysis
Sports equipment (golf clubs, golf balls, baseball bats, helmets)
Civil engineering (offshore platforms, pavement design)
