Over six months ago, two students, Rob Moncur, pursuing his MS, and Satyan Chandra, pursuing his UnderGraduate Studies, in Brigham Young University (BYU) set out on a path to build a LS-DYNA crash-analysis model of the PACE F1 car in under 8 weeks. Under the guidance of their professor, Dr. Greg Jensen, and with minimum…
As a simulation engineer, we always like quick access to experimental data. Over the years, with a powerful framework that was developed within d3VIEW, this is now possible to import and visualize experimental data. With a few configurations, you can further tie this with simulation data for easy overlay and comparison. This following video shows…
During one of my recent trips, a question was raised about how LS-DYNA treats thick shells in contact in particular if the contact would detect the surface sides. This simulation Thickshells in contact shows that LS-DYNA treats the thickshells as solids in which all external (free) surfaces are included in the contact. ERODING contact would…
