LSTC LS-DYNA

310 LSTC LS-DYNA v9.71 R4.2.1 LSTC LS-DYNA is a multi-purpose finite element calculation complex for dynamic calculations using the explicit method. Used to calculate highly nonlinear dynamic transient processes. The program was created at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the USA. Its very first applications related to the analysis of the stress state of structures subjected to shock loading. Unlike the well-known programs ABAQUS, ANSYS, MSC.Nastran, LS-DYNA was originally created to solve dynamic nonlinear problems. Next, Livermore Software Technology Corporation (LSTC) was created, which began to develop commercial versions of the program aimed at the automotive industry. Currently, LS-DYNA implements effective methods for solving the listed problems, including explicit and implicit methods of integration, multi-component.
