Ansys (Synopsys)
Ansys LS-DYNA
Ansys LS-DYNA supports explicit dynamics for impact, crash and highly nonlinear events.
On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.
Workflow ideas
Build an explicit model
Use the idealised geometry, material assumptions and analysis scope. In the intended Ansys LS-DYNA preview, build an explicit model; the visible result is a solver-ready model view with mesh regions and constraints exposed. Review units, connectivity, mesh suitability and model assumptions before accepting or exporting it.
Define contacts and events
Start from the selected load cases, contacts and solution controls. In the intended Ansys LS-DYNA preview, define contacts and events; the visible result is a configured analysis state with loads and boundary conditions visible. Review load paths, restraints, convergence controls and applicable codes before accepting or exporting it.
Review energy balance and response
Begin with the completed result set and acceptance quantities. In the intended Ansys LS-DYNA preview, review energy balance and response; the visible result is plots or tables that connect response values to the model. Review convergence, sensitivity, units and engineering reasonableness before accepting or exporting it.
