User-Defined Materials in LS-DYNA®

Syllabus

This is a short course on us­ing the user-de­fined ma­te­ri­als in LS-DY­NA. This class will pro­vide an­a­lysts with the ad­di­tion­al tools and knowl­edge re­quired to mod­el and im­ple­ment their own ma­te­r­i­al mod­el in LS-DY­NA. Work­shop ex­am­ples il­lus­trate the points made in the lec­tures and train you on how to use the code. The course will pro­vide you with ex­pe­ri­ence in run­ning and trou­ble-shoot­ing LS-DY­NA User­Mat analy­sis.
