About LS-DYNA

LS-DYNA (Livermore Software Technology Corporation) is in the number of leading heavy finite-element design complexes. LS-DYNA is multipurpose software, which is applying the explicit finite-element method. LS-DYNA is designed for non-linear dynamic response of three-dimensional non-elastic structures analysis. Program LS-DYNA mathematical apparatus supports special-purpose contact algorithms, set of materials models and applies explicit method of integration.

LS-DYNA software environment gives user the developed set of help functions for input data preparation and processing the results of calculation. This helps to carry out analysis, including integrated assessment of the observable objects geometrical parameters influence, mode of deformation, considering the constantly growing complexity of the engineering decisions.

Among the great number of tasks, most frequently solved in LS-DYNA environment are populate: metal, glass, plastic molding: rolling, extrusion, stamping, drawing, superplastic deformation, cutting, structural stock, casting, deep drawing, (including large-scale deformations), dynamic behaviour tasks and multistage processes.

The program is used by all known world automotive industry corporations, many defense industry companies and others.
