Chapter 5: Keywords used by LS-DYNA in Workbench

The LS-DYNA Workbench system allows you to run an explicit dynamics analysis for your model using the LS-DYNA solver.

This section shows all LS-DYNA supported keywords and their syntax. Keywords conform to the LS-DYNA Keyword User's Manual Volumes I, II, III .

Each keyword consists of one or more cards, each with one of more parameters. If a parameter is not shown, it will be assigned default values by the LS-DYNA solver.

This chapter describes the following:

  • 5.1. Input File Header
  • 5.2. Database Format
