Ansys LS-DYNA Reviews & Product Details

ANSYS LS-DYNA is the most commonly used explicit simulation program with multi-physics capabilities to simulate the response of materials to short periods of severe loading. Its many elements, contact formulations, material models and other controls can be used to simulate complex models with control over all the details of the problem.

"Good and functional to learnompartiría"

4/5

What do you like best about Ansys LS-DYNA?

It allows us to prevent possible failures in projects executed in real life. It is also a useful and easy-to-use tool.

It has a wide range of capabilities to simulate deformation problems in materials, which allows anticipating the problems that can affect parts, with the type of material used Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys LS-DYNA?

Nothing, works well and adapts to many areas of engineering Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys LS-DYNA:

Delivers what it promises Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

When planning a new production line, it makes it easier for us to review what materials work best for these requirements and if they adapt to our needs.

In addition, it is easy to handle even large quantities of parts, and the interactions and the load step between complex behaviors are precisely modeled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"LS Dyna for explicit dynamic simulations"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Ansys LS-DYNA?

capabilities of dynamic simulations, calculation speed,failure tests, various types of simulations (impact simulations, penetration...), easier to use than other software for dynamics simulations, very good results output. postprocessing is easy to understand and results are easy to read. Sotfware can provide "real" results that can be compared to physical testing. Great material libary with many materials of various types and origins.Various contact tools and models for almost every industrial application.Wide element libary for all calculations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys LS-DYNA?

User interface, must be experienced in FEA to use solver properly, software could be more user friendly. I would suggest to master the FEA theory first and expand user knowledge of the various contacts and models before using LS-Dyna as the "black box" software because lack of knowledge in the field can easily mislead engineer in thinking that results are correct, but in reality mistakes can easily be made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys LS-DYNA:

User must have prior knowledge of the FEA and dynamical behaviour of materials to use software correctly but when basic knowledge is mastered software is really useful and can help engineers in various fields of engineering and simulation types. Considering using LS-Dyna without previous experience in the field can be really hard and I'd not recommend it to anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Composite dynamics simulations for strenght test simulations for Formula Student race car, penetration tests, fatigue analysis, dynamic load behaviour. User must have prior knowledge of the FEA and dynamical behaviour of materials to use software correctly but when basic knowledge is mastered software is really useful and can help engineers in various fields of engineering and simulation types.

"leading in the market high potential"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Ansys LS-DYNA?

leading technology with more user friendly and there is an actual correlation between software results and physical testing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys LS-DYNA?

costing is the main issue, it should be available in discount price to grab the market more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys LS-DYNA:

definitely, you can go ahead and try out some initial simulations and if it fits with your requirements then you can go ahead. the technically Ansys LS-DYNA is very strong and GUI is nice. Automations are easily possible, which will reduce your solution time and increase accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

actual non-linear high dynamic problems are easily solved through this tool. correlation between physical test is also very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ANSYS does static-dynamic analysis with large plastic deformation; LS-DYNA shows component fractures"

5/5

What do you like best about Ansys LS-DYNA?

Both. Ansys shows the stress & strain distribution in a machine with multi-components under static, dynamic, and thermal loads, while LS-DYNA shows the component fractures as the material reaches the fracture point gradually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys LS-DYNA?

LS-DYNA needs provide more advanced modeling module. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
