2. Workbench LS-DYNA – Simply click "Solve" and it does the above steps in the background
3. Using a Command Line Interface, which is similar to LS-Run, except instead of using the program to write
the script, users write it themselves
Step 10 – Review the Results
Review the simulations to see each of the balls drop, hit the floor, compress, and bounce back. Adjust data as
needed to ensure the ball meets the design intent.
Summary
Regardless of how simple or complex a model is, the key to managing the LS-DYNA workflow is to understand
the purpose, behavior, interactions, and nuances of the keycards, which are directly controlled by the objects
in the preprocessor.
Companies that invest in the required resources for LS-DYNA can accurately resolve many of the difficult
phenomena seen in manufacturing, reducing costs and speeding time to market.
