LS-DYNA is a general-purpose, explicit and implicit Finite Element (FE) program used to analyse the nonlinear dynamic response of three-dimensional inelastic structures.

LS-DYNA has a fully automated contact analysis capability and error-checking features, which have enabled users worldwide the successful solution of many complex crash and forming problems. Livermore Software Technology Corporation (LSTC) develops sophisticated tools for modelling and simulating the large deformation behaviour of structures, including LS-DYNA for analysis, LS-PrePost for pre- & post-processing, and LS-OPT for optimisation.

We also offer other advanced and specialised pre- & post-processors for
LS-DYNA:

• ANSA, mETA
• PRIMER, THIS, D3PLOT
• TrueGRID
• GLview
