The version of LS-DYNA in the Ansys installation is able to run the complete keyword set published in the LS-DYNA Keyword User's Manual Volumes I, II, III. In the current implementation, a subset of the extensive list of keyword inputs can be generated by the LS-DYNA Workbench system. The following areas of use are not supported for the LS-DYNA Workbench system:
User-defined material definition
LS-DYNA user subroutines
Mesh-free methods: EFG
Some special elements such as Seat Belt and others
Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI)
Advanced, knowledgeable users may modify the input file generated and take advantage of the full keyword set. Note that post-processing may not work correctly with modified .k files. For those cases use LS-Prepost, available in the standard installation.
This section describes all of the steps needed to run an analysis using the LS-DYNA system.
