Explicit Dynamics with ANSYS/LS-DYNA Course Outline

You should attend this course if you analyze problems involving contact, large deformations, nonlinear materials, high frequency response phenomena, or problems requiring explicit solution. Typical applications for ANSYS/LS-DYNA are drop test simulation and simulation of manufacturing processes such as sheetmetal forming. You should have a B.S. in engineering or equivalent engineering experience, and also have experience with ANSYS, preferably analyzing structural nonlinear transient phenomena. Both the ANSYS Structural Nonlinear and ANSYS Dynamics courses are recommended, but not required, prerequisites for this course.

This two-day course will help you to perform explicit dynamics analyses. After completing this course, you will be able to distinguish the types of problems that should be solved explicitly versus implicitly; identify and choose element types, materials, and commands, used in explicitly dynamics analyses, and perform all procedures for an explicit dynamics analysis. The course includes implicit-explicit and explicit-implicit procedures using standard ANSYS and ANSYS/LS-DYNA.
