In several loading situations, initial velocities are often defined along directions that do not coincide with the global coordinate system. In such cases it is very cumbersome to determine the directional components along global axes when the vector direction does not coincide the global system. In such instances, the easiest modeling approach would be to [...]

Published by February 12th, 2007 in LS-DYNA Bytes, LS-DYNA Curves and LS-DYNA Materials. 0 CommentsCurves are used widely to define a XY data that are used by several entities in LS-DYNA. They help us to define either a time-dependent function, used in loads and boundary conditions, and/or a strain/strain-rate dependent function used frequently in constitutive models. Three most salient features of curve representation, that occur internally in LS-DYNA and [...]
