Getting Started with Ansys Workbench LS-DYNA

Overview

This hands-on webinar provides a practical introduction to Ansys Workbench LS-DYNA, guiding new users through the essential steps to begin performing explicit dynamic simulations within the Ansys Mechanical environment. We will cover the fundamentals of explicit analysis, key solver concepts, and the Ansys LS-DYNA workflow within Ansys. Attendees will learn how to set up a basic model, define materials and contacts, apply loads and boundary conditions, run simulations, and interpret results for dynamic events such as impacts and high-speed motion. The session is designed for engineers, researchers, and students who are new to Ansys LS-DYNA and want a clear, structured starting point. By the end of the webinar, participants will understand the core principles behind explicit dynamics and feel confident beginning their own simulations using Ansys LS-DYNA.

What Attendees Will Learn

• Fundamentals of explicit dynamics and nonlinear transient analysis
• Core Ansys workbench LS-DYNA workflow and solver setup
• Model definition: materials, contacts, boundary conditions, and loading
• Best practices for impact and high-speed event simulations
• Post-processing techniques and interpretation of dynamic results

Who Should Attend

• Engineers and analysts new to Ansys LS-DYNA who want to start performing explicit dynamic simulations.
• Mechanical, aerospace, automotive, and defense engineers modeling impact, crash, blast, or high-speed events.
• Researchers and graduate students working on nonlinear, large deformation, and contact problems.
• Existing Ansys users expanding from implicit or static analysis into explicit dynamics.

Speakers

• Dr. Hesam Moghaddam
