"Explicit dynamics analysis"

What do you like best about Ansys LS-DYNA?

I have used Mechanical APDL interface of Ansys and LS-Dyna as a solution engine. I could obtain precise results from very difficult non linear dynamic FEA models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys LS-DYNA?

I could not find implicit dynamics settings for slow metal forming simulations. I spent really long simulation time for the results from explicit dynamics analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys LS-DYNA solving and how is that benefiting you?

I tried to solve mostly roll bending of metal plates into circular geometry, it was impossible without LS-Dyna solver. Because I and other simulation engineers had tried Autodyn and failed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A powerful Explicit solver with easy to use keywords and commands"

What do you like best about Ansys LS-DYNA?

LS-Prepost which is open source helps you to get used to the software's interface without having a licence and once you have confidence on using one can get a license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys LS-DYNA?

The user interface needs to be updated frequently, when compared to the other ansys analysis tools the UI in LS-DYNA looks outdated and sometimes LS-Prepost hangs and the entire work will be gone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys LS-DYNA solving and how is that benefiting you?

ANSYS LS-DYNA is an analysis software which solves physics problems numerically by using the concept of finite elements. It is mostly popular for dynamic problems as it uses explicit solver by default. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"excellent experience"

What do you like best about Ansys LS-DYNA?

Ansys LS-DYNA allows you to simulate and analyse various complex problems it has easy to use interface with so much detailing wich makes it easier for the user to do enhanced problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys LS-DYNA?

i couldn't say anything wrong with the software because it was so comforting to use, but the user interface could be much more efficient and simplistic design making it even more comfortable for the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys LS-DYNA solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ansys LS-DYNA solves complex crash analysis problems for engineers. It is used to simulate the 3D Model designed for understanding its characteristics which when crashed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A good tool for early graduates to learn and powerful Crash Simulation Tool"

What do you like best about Ansys LS-DYNA?

The best thing about Ls-Dyna as a solver and modeller is that you can use any other CAE modelling software whichever may be available to you or according to your ease. Solver Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys LS-DYNA?

If basic modelling tools can be improved it would be great. I understand that it is meant to be used as a solver but it would encourage students to try it at the very least because there is not a lot of online content available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys LS-DYNA:

One of the best solvers but I would recommend using Hypermesh for modelling purpose from my personal experience. It allows you multiple tools to make your work easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys LS-DYNA solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were working with another team to develop better safety standards for Formula Student vehicles. The idea was to understand and develop an impact attenuator used in Formula Student vehicles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very good experience"

What do you like best about Ansys LS-DYNA?

I did my final year thesis in Ansys LS-Dyna. Ansys was a user friendly software and every tool was easily accessible. The large variety of analysis tools have us upperhand in our project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys LS-DYNA?

Since I had a very good experience I would say there is nothing really to improve from my point of view. The user interface could be much better when compared to other softwares Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys LS-DYNA solving and how is that benefiting you?

For my final year thesis I did crash simulation of a bumper it was very helpfull, And that made me productive now, I could easily simulate any crash now using ansys Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Well, whats is not mostly liked in Ansys is the quality of the mesh."

What do you like best about Ansys LS-DYNA?

The interface is very easy to use unlike any other software. Easy to navigate between ANSYS and DYNA. Easy to learn and expertiment. Userguide is elaborted which is much useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys LS-DYNA?

More examples in the help file should be included. More tutorials will help us to gain more knowledge and work accordingly. The meshing quality to be improved a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys LS-DYNA solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mainly, explicit-based problems which are non-linear in nature. Crash analysis for vehicles, aircraft structures, blast simulation, and bird impact analysis. Undoudtedly the interface makes things easy to solve which is not laborous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
