LS-DYNA Updates in Ansys 2020 R2

When it comes to tools that are effective for running explicit simulation, there is nothing more commonly used than Ansys LS-DYNA. This program is capable of simulating the response of materials to short periods of severe loading and has many elements, contact formulations, material models and other controls that can be used to simulate complex models with control over all the details of the problem. LS-DYNA has a vast array of capabilities to simulate extreme deformation problems using its explicit solver. Though this, engineers can tackle simulations involving material failure and examine how it progresses through a part or an entire system. Models with large amounts of parts or surfaces interacting with each other can also be easily handled through this tool, as well as the accurate modeling of interactions and load passing between complex behaviors. Join PADT's Senior Staff Technologist Jim Peters for an examination of this simulation tool, along with a look at some exciting new features available in Ansys 2020 R2.
