Improving Load Balance in MPP-LSDYNA for ALE and SPH

In an earlier post on decomposition and region domains we saw how customized PFILE can be used to improve load balancing. Two new commands “aledist” and “sphdist” can now be included in “PFILE” that allows LS-DYNA to distribute the ALE and SPH information across all processors. This will greatly improve the load balancing when using…

Modified Crushable Foam

LS-DYNA now offers a modified version of *MAT_CRUSHABLE_FOAM in the form of *MAT_MODIFIED_CRUSHABLE_FOAM . In the new material model, the strain rate effects can be included in the foam a *DEFINE_TABLE . To reduce or eliminate the noise in the evaulation of the new yield stress as a function of strain and strain-rate, LS-DYNA offers…
