LS-DYNA Insights

What is LS-DYNA?

LS-DYNA is a general-purpose explicit and implicit finite element program used to analyze the non-linear dynamic response of structures. It is commonly used in the automotive industry for crashworthiness simulations, but also finds applications in aerospace, manufacturing, and other fields where simulating dynamic events and complex material behavior is important.
