Course Overview
This webinar explores co-simulation between Ansys LS-DYNA® nonlinear dynamics structural simulation software and other software using the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI). FMI is a tool-independent standard allowing for co-simulation between different software by exchanging data such as forces, velocities, and sensor status. For example, a car model in Ansys LS-DYNA software, where airbag firing is triggered by a bespoke software, ABS is controlled by a Python script, or motion is coupled with a dedicated multibody dynamics solver. In this webinar, we co-simulate an Ansys LS-DYNA software model with a controller in Python to demonstrate how FMI can be used. FMI is a free standard maintained as a Modelica Association Project. Since the FMI standard is tool-independent, coupling is possible between Ansys LS-DYNA software and the 170+ tools that support the standard, https://fmi-standard.org/tools/, extending the capabilities of Ansys LS-DYNA software.
