LS-DYNA Acoustics

The LS-DYNA BEM (Boundary Element Method) Acoustics analysis is used to determine the frequency response of a structure and the surrounding fluid medium to loads and excitations that vary sinusoidally (harmonically) with time.

This system is configured in Ansys Mechanical, using the LS-DYNA solver to compute the solution.

To work through an LS-DYNA Acoustics system:

  1. To add a LS-DYNA Acoustics analysis system, drag the system from the Toolbox to the Project Schematic or double-click the system in the Toolbox.

  2. To load the geometry, right-click the Geometry cell and select Import Geometry from the context menu.

  3. To view the geometry, right-click the Model cell and select Edit from the context menu or double-click the Model cell.

    Alternatively, you can complete this step using the Setup cell.

  4. In the Mechanical application window, complete your analysis using the application's tools and features.

    See Acoustics Workflow in the LS-DYNA User's Guide for more information on conducting this analysis.
