Ansys LS-Dyna
Simulate the response of materials to short periods of severe loading. Ansys LS-Dyna is the industry leading explicit simulation software used for applications like drop tests, impact and penetration, smashes and crashes, occupant safety, and more.
Vast array of capabilities to simulate extreme deformation problems
Ansys LS-Dyna is the most used explicit simulation solution in the world and is capable of simulation 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.
Engineers can tackle simulations involving material failure and look at how the failure progresses through a part or 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.

Benefits
Accurate Simulations
The software has a wide range of material models and solver options, which can accurately simulate the behavior of different materials and their interactions under different loading conditions.
Faster Design Cycles
Simulate and test designs quickly, reducing the need for physical testing and prototyping. This can significantly shorten the design cycle and lead to faster product development.
Cost Savings
Save costs by reducing the need for physical testing and prototyping, as well as by identifying potential issues early in the design process. This can help you avoid costly errors and redesigns.
Case Study
Racing to Victory: NASCAR Meets an Aggressive Launch Schedule with Ansys Cloud
NASCAR was on track to launch a revolutionary Next Gen car design that would change the face of stock car racing. Then the COVID-19 pandemic struck, eliminating the possibility of physical prototypes and tests. The NASCAR engineering team needed to verify the safety of its car design via numerically large Ansys LS-DYNA crash simulations — getting results in real time and iterating quickly.

Who We Have Helped
Neles CFD experts have been largely freed from routine valve design, and can instead focus on more challenging issues.
— Tommi Bergström / Neles
By simulating the results of each print run — before we actually commit materials and machine time — we are substantially lowering our risk exposure
