12 Facts About LS-DYNA

LS-DYNA is an advanced general-purpose multiphysics simulation software package developed by the former Livermore Software Technology Corporation, which was acquired by Ansys in 2019.

LS-DYNA is used by the automobile, aerospace, construction and civil engineering, military, manufacturing, and bioengineering industries.

LS-DYNA originated from the 3D FEA program DYNA3D, developed by Dr John O Hallquist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1976.

Therefore, all that is required to run LS-DYNA is a command shell, the executable, an input file, and enough free disk space to run the calculation.

Licensees of LS-DYNA automatically have access to all of the program's capabilities, from simple linear static mechanical analysis up to advanced thermal and flow solving methods.
