Ensuring conformity and high level productivity between ANSA and LS-DYNA during model and load case development

Simulations have been playing an increasingly significant role in developing Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) models over the last decades. Virtual testing has become standard practice in the design process, with analysts striving to establish robust procedures to validate the final products. ANSYS LS-DYNA has become a leading solution in CAE simulations, proving indispensable for engineers. Simultaneously, the BETA CAE pre-processor ANSA offers a comprehensive solution for model building, load case definition, and generating the deck file for ANSYS LS-DYNA. This ensures full conformity with ANSYS LS-DYNA standards, facilitating easy setup and high-quality results. This presentation demonstrates ANSA's capability to handle all needs of a CAE engineer in a broad spectrum of use cases ranging from ID handling and solver deck file conformity up to high level inspection and editing of a complex crash model.
