LS-DYNA Kompakt: Implicit Analysis using LS-DYNA

In recent years, the simulation possibilities in LS-DYNA using implicit time integration have been enhanced extensively. The main areas of application for implicit analyses include linear and non-linear static computations, natural frequency analyses, springback, lengthy transient simulations, systems with preload, etc. The aim of the webinar is to give participants an overview of the possibilities and limits of implicit simulations using LS-DYNA. In particular, attention will be drawn on the required input cards for such simulations.

The webinar is recommended for engineers intending to use LS-DYNA to carry out implicit simulations. In addition, experienced “explicit users” learn about what to bear in mind when converting explicit into implicit input decks. Examples will be given during the seminar to illustrate the functionality of the implicit options.

Note that this webinar is a condensed version of our attendance class "Implicit Analysis using LS-DYNA".

The course will take place from 9-11 a.m. (CET) on two consecutive days.
