ANSYS LS-DYNA is the most commonly used explicit simulation program, capable of simulating the response of materials to short periods of severe loading. Its many elements, contact formulations, material models and other controls can be used to simulate complex models with control over all the details of the problem.
It has a vast array of capabilities to simulate extreme deformation problems using its explicit solver. Engineers can tackle simulations involving material failure and look at how the failure progresses through a part or through a system.

- Models with large amounts of parts or surfaces interacting with each other are also easily handled, and the interactions and load passing between complex behaviors are modeled accurately. Using computers with higher numbers of CPU cores can drastically reduce solution times.
Features of ANSYS LS-DYNA
Simulate the response of materials to short periods of severe loading.
Simulate models with large amounts of contacts, joints and other connections undergoing drop, impact and other short timescale events.
ANSYS LS-Dyna gives you a wide range of low- and high-order element formulations in solids, shells and beams. Extensive range of contact options enable automatic contact detection between solids, shells and beams, while taking into account beam cross sections and shell thicknesses.
LS-DYNA’s integration into ANSYS Workbench via ACT means fast and easy model setup and parametric simulation capabilities.
