LS-DYNA®

LS-DYNA is developed as a strongly coupled multi-physics solver,  rather than loosely coupled field equations.

A combined Implicit/Explicit solver - one scalable code for solving highly nonlinear transient problems enabling the solution of coupled multi-physics and multi-stage problems

Explicit/Implicit solver including :

     Heat Transfer
     ALE
     EFG
     SPH
     Airbag particle method
     Incompressible fluids (version-980)
     CESE compressible fluids (version-980)
     Electromagnetics (version-980)
     Acoustics (version-980) 

LS-OPT®

LS-OPT allows the user to structure the design process, explore the design space and compute optimal designs according to specified constraints and objectives. The program is also highly suited to the solution of system identification problems.

The graphical tool LS-OPTui interfaces with LS-DYNA and provides an environment to specify optimization input, monitor and control parallel simulations and post-process optimization data as well as viewing multiple designs using LS-POST.

LS-PrePost®

LS-PrePost is an advanced interactive program for preparing input data for LS-DYNA and processing the results from LS-DYNA analyses. The user interface is intuitive and easy to use. All data and menus are designed in a logical and efficient way to minimize number of mouse clicks and operations. LS-PrePost runs on all Unix/Linux workstations and MS Windows computers utilizing the OpenGL graphics standard to achieve fast rendering and XY plotting.
