LS-Dyna Overview :

LS-Dyna is most widely used solver in automotive industry for solving structural analysis. By taking
this course you will learn basics of ls-dyna, model set up for various structural load cases, simulation
and model debugging, post processing and report preparation.

Who should attend?

New LS-Dyna users who will primarily use LS-Dyna to create their models, CAE meshing modellers
who is willing to grow their career should attend this course. No previous knowledge of LS-Dyna is
required, but some basic knowledge of finite elements and continuum mechanics is desirable. Also,
some familiarity with interactive modelling is helpful but not required.

Course Outcome:

 Basics of LS DYNA and engineering simulation

 Non Linear analysis
 Linear static and explicit dynamic analysis
 Detailed explanation of material and contact algorithms
 Impact analysis
 Crash analysis

LS-Dyna Course content:

 Module1 : Introduction and Basic of LS-Dyna,

 Module 2 : Different load case setup with example models
 Module 3 : Simulation and Error Fix
 Module 4 : Post processing and Report preparation

MODULE 1: Introduction and basic of LS-Dyna

 Time step

MODULE 2: Different load case setup with example models

In this module you will be learning to setup the load case as per the standard, the same will be
explained with example models.

 Simple problems from example models

 FMVSS, ECER load cases
1. Roof strength analysis
2. Seat belt pull test
3. Frontal impact
4. Dynamic loading of seat system
5. Pendulum impact on IP

MODULE 3: Simulation and Error Fixing

 prerequisites of simulation
 Launch simulation runs
 model debugging

MODULE 4: Post processing and Report preparation

Each analysis is conducted to find out the stability of different requirement criteria, by post
processing the simulation results it can be identified. In this module you will learn how to post
process and prepare report for different load cases.
