Introduction
Introduction
The ANSYS LS-DYNA program is able to run the complete keyword set
published in the LS-DYNA KEYWORD USER'S MANUAL (Version 971
R6.0.0). In the current implementation, a limited subset of the
extensive list of keyword inputs can be generated by Workbench LSDYNA. The keywords generated through the standard user interface
are supported by ANSYS technical support. The following areas of use
are not supported with Workbench LS-DYNA:
User-defined material definition
LS-DYNA user subroutines
Mesh-free methods: SPH & EFG
Special elements such as Seat belt, Airbag, Draw-beads and others
Multi-material ALE
Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI)
Advanced, knowledgeable users may modify the input file generated
and take advantage of the full keyword set, however ANSYS, Inc. does
not provide technical support for modified input files.
The Workbench LS-DYNA environment is available to all customers
with an ANSYS LS-DYNA license and requires that license to run
