Application - Crashworthiness
One of the main applications of LS-DYNA is in the field of crashworthiness, with many automotive companies
using it as their main tool to understand the deformation of a complex vehicle structures under impact loading.
Some of the main features in LS-DYNA that enable this type of analysis include;
- Robust contact definitions.
- Wide range of material models (metals, plastics, foams, etc).
- Spotweld models.
- Adhesive models.
