The massively parallel processing (MPP) capabilities of LS-DYNA allow you to run the LS-DYNA solver over a cluster of machines or use multiple processors on a single machine. To use the LS-DYNA MPP feature, you must have an Ansys LS-DYNA HPC license for each process beyond the first one.

Before running an analysis using LS-DYNA MPP, you must have supported MPI software correctly installed, and the machines running LS-DYNA MPP must be properly configured.

The output files produced by LS-DYNA MPP are standard LS-DYNA output files and are not compatible with Ansys. Therefore, you must use LS-DYNA postprocessors to view the results.
