Material Models

Material models are used to simulate the response of materials to dynamic loadings. ANSYS LS-DYNA software has comprehensive material modeling capabilities that encompass almost any type of material response required in an explicit dynamic simulation. The models include orthotropic, thermo-elasto-plastic, elastoplastic with fracture, strain rate dependent, orthotropic crushable, composite damage, temperature and rate dependent and these are just a small subset of all the available models.
