Example of: Airbag Deploys into Cylinder
Example Filename: airbag.deploy.56.k
Description:
An airbag inflates adjacent to a rigid cylinder.
Model:
The volume pressure relationships is defined by the Simple Airbag Model for control
volumes. The bag inflates through the flow of mass into the bag. The termination time is
0.01 seconds.
Input:
The control volume defines the thermodynamic relationship for the gas in terms of parameters
such as heat capacity, gas temperature, incoming mass, and outgoing mass
(*AIRBAG_SIMPLE_AIRBAG_MODEL). The contact surfaces are automatically generated
by part id(*CONTACT_NODES_TO_SURFACE).
Results:
The plots show the bag expanding. The ASCII file ABSTAT (*DATABASE_ABSTAT)
contains information on the computed pressure, volume, mass flow and internal energy of
the control volume.

Example of: Sliding Blocks with Planar Joint
Example File Name: joint planar.38.k
joint planar.38.t
Description:
This problem illustrates a planar joint connecting two rigid bodies.
Model:
The first block measuring 2 2 2 slides along a second block measuring 2 2 8. A
third flexible body controls the time step size. The first block has a ramped pressure of 100
psi applied to the top surface and ramped concentrated forces applied to a lower edge of 40
lbs. The initial velocity of the first block is 400 inches/second.
Input:
One joint definition consist of nodes 128, 126, 129 and 127
(*CONSTRAINED_JOINT_PLANAR). The nodes are extra nodes attached to the rigid
bodies and are coincident (*CONSTRAINED_EXTRA_NODES_SET,
*SET_NODE_LIST)
Results:
The plots simply show that the first block correctly slides across the second block.

LS-DYNA3D Manual Section: *CONSTRAINED_LINEAR
Example of: Linearly Constrained Plate
Example Filename: plates.lce.64.k
Description:
The center node of a plate moves in the normal direction. Two other nodes that are
neighbors to the center node are constrained such that their displacement in the normal
direction is identical.
Model:
The plate is made of an elastic material measuring 40 40 2 mm
3
and contains 64
Hughes-Liu shell elements. The center node displacement increases linearly. At the
termination time, 0.0005 seconds, the displacement is 15 mm.
The degree of freedom in the z-direction for the two nodes is identical.
Input:
A load curve defines the magnitude of the prescribed displacement of the center node
(*BOUNDARY_PRESCRIBED_MOTION_NODE, *DEFINE_CURVE).
A linear constraint card defines the coupling of the displacement in the z-direction between
the two nodes (*CONSTRAINED_LINEAR). Two equal coefficients with opposite signs
control the displacement.

Example of: Spotweld Secures Two Plates
Example Filenames: plates.spot.29.k
plates.tied.31.k
plates.nrbc.36.k
Description:
A spotweld connects two overlapping plates.
Model:
The two plates measure 80 40 1 mm
3
and contain 24 Englemann-Whirley shell
elements. The location of the spotweld connecting the two plates is in the center of the
overlapping section. One end of the plate has fixed constraints and the other end of the
other plate has linearly increasing displacement.
Input:
The nodal point cards contain the boundary conditions of the two ends of the plate
(*NODES). *BOUNDARY_PRESCRIBED_MOTION_SET define the nodes with
prescribed boundary conditions.
Three different possibilities exist to simulate the spotweld.
1. A massless beam simulates the connection which has both shear forces, normal forces
and moments. (*CONSTRAINED_SPOTWELD) The definition may include failure
stress as a function of the shear force.
2. Contact interface type 8 also simulates a rigid connection between a slave node and a
master segment on the lower plate
(*CONTACT_TIEBREAK_NODES_TO_SURFACE).
The card contains a failure criteria to limit both the shear and normal force.
The contact algorithm accounts for the shell element thickness (*CONTROL_SHELL).
3. A nodal rigid body constraint connects the two opposite nodes.
(*CONSTRAINED_NODAL_RIGID_BODY) Failure is not an option in this case.
The ASCII file SWFORC contains the tension force on the spotweld every 0.001 seconds
(*DATABSE_SWFORC). A card contains the output quantities of all nodes and elements
on the section plane (*DATABASE_CROSS_SECTION_SET).

Example of: Shell Rebounds from Plate Using Five Contact Types
Example Filenames: plate.typ3.31.k
plate.typ4.31.k
plate.typ5.31.k
plate.typ10.31.k
plate.typ13.31.k
Description:
A shell element drops and rebounds on an elastic plate.
Model:
The plate measures 40 40 1 mm
3
and contains 16 shell elements. The dropped shell
element has a side length of 10 mm, a thickness of 2 mm and drop height of 10 mm. All
shell elements are elastic with Belytschko-Tsay formulation. The dropped shell element
has an initial velocity of 100,000 mm/second vertically towards the plate. The calculations
terminate at 0.0002 seconds.
Input:
All nodes have an initial velocity as specified above. (*INITIAL_VELOCITY) Types 3, 5
and 10 use the dropped shell element as slave side and the four shell elements in the center
of the plate as master side.
Type 3 contact is a two way surface to surface algorithm. The segments on the slave side
are checked for penetration of the master segment then the opposite search takes place.
Type 4 is a single surface algorithm. The nodes of all segments are checked for penetration
of all segments.
Type 5 is a node to surface one way algorithm. The program checks that no slave node
penetrates any master segment.
Type 10 converts surface to surface definition into a node to surface definition.
Type 13 is a more robust version of the single surface algorithm. It works especially well
in the contact in airbag unfolding problems.

Example of: Discrete Nodes Tied to a Surface
Example Filename: box.typ6.31.k
Interface type numbers 6, 3 and 5 with Box input
Description:
A shell element drops and rebounds onto an elastic plate with an attached hollow box.
Model:
The plate measures 40 40 1 mm
3
and contains 16 Belytschko-Tsay shell elements. The
dropped shell element has a side length of 10 mm, a thickness of 2 mm and a drop height
of 10 mm. The box measures 20 20 1 mm
3
and contains 12 Belytschko-Tsay shell
elements. All shell element materials are elastic. The initial velocity of the shell elements is
100,000 mm/second. The calculation terminates at 0.002 seconds.
Input:
All nodes have initial velocity cards. (*INITIAL_VELOCITY) The box defines the nodes
facing the plate as tied to the plate (*DEFINE_BOX,
*CONTACT_TIED_NODES_TO_SURFACE).
Type 3 surface to surface contact represents the interface between the dropped shells and
the top surface of the box. Type 5 node to surface contact represents the middle node of
the top surface of the box (slave) and the elements of the plate (master). The definition
of the contact includes box and material input. The contact algorithms account for
thickness of the shells (*CONTROL_CONTACT).

Example of: Projectile penetrates Plate
Example Filename: project.erode.31.k
Description:
A projectile strikes a plate at a critical angle.
Model:
The hemispherical projectile has a length of 7.67 cm and a diameter of 0.767 cm. The plate
measures 23.01 cm 23 cm 0.64 cm. The projectile and the plate are elastic perfectly
plastic with failure strain. The initial velocity of the projectile is 0.129 cm/sec at an angle
of 75 degrees. The calculation terminates at 110.0 sec.
Input:
All nodes have initial velocity cards (*INITIAL_VELOCITY)
Type 3 surface to surface with the bucket sorting algorithm contact represents the interface
between the projectile material and the plate material. Automatic contact input generation
defines the master and slave surfaces by definition when the number of slave surfaces and
master surfaces is set to 0 (*CONTACT_ERODING_SURFACE_TO_SURFACE).
Results:
The projectile fractures into a tip and trailing portion. The trailing portion punches a hole
through the plate while the tip reflects off the plate.

Example of: Rigid Sphere impacts Plate
Example Filename: sphere.gce.57.k
Description:
A rigid sphere drops onto an elastic plate. The sphere contains shell elements
automaticcally generated with a Geometric Contact Entity spherical surface.
Model:
The plate of elastic material measures 40 40 2 mm
3
and contains 64 Belytschko-Tsay
shell elements. The sphere has a radius of 6.0 mm and the distance from the center of the
cube to the plate is 8.5 mm. The inertia properties of the sphere are defined by the
properties of the rigid brick element. A geometric contact entity defines the spherical
contact surface.
The sphere moves toward the plate with a uniform motion. The termination time is 0.0005
seconds.
Input:
The Geometric Contact Entity defines the outer master surface on the rigid sphere
(*CONTACT_ENTITY). The nodes on the plate are slave nodes (*SET_NODE_LIST) ,
and are in the Geometric Entity.
A load curve definition defines the movement of the sphere
(*PRESCRIBED_MOTION_RIGID, *DEFINE_CURVE). The displacement condition
for rigid bodies is input by material numbers, not by listing the nodes included in the
definition.

Example of: Hemispherical Punch
Example Filenames: hemi.draw.215.k & hemi.draw.215.i
Description:
This problem includes three tools a punch, a pressure pad, a die and a workpiece. A
workpiece is deep drawn by the hemispherical punch while the pressure pad and die
prevents wrinkling. The load on the pressure pad is ramped, then the punch displaces in
the y direction.
Model:
The workpiece measures 80 mm in radius and 1 mm in thickness. The punch radius is
50.0 mm and the die torus radius is 6.35 mm. The workpiece contains 528 Belytschko
Tsay shell elements with 5 integration points through the thickness. The tools are rigid
members.
Input:
The number of integration points is 5 for the workpiece. (*SECTION_SHELL) This model
contains two options to consider shell thickness. The first option is the contact surfaces are
projected to the true surface of shell (*CONTROL_CONTACT). The second option is
membrane straining results in thickness changes (*CONTROL_CONTACT). The motion of
the punch follows a sine function represented by load curve number 2 (Section 22).
Results:
The plots show an exploded view of the parts, thickness at an intermediate step, and
resultant forces at the contact interfaces.

LS-DYNA3D Manual Section: *CONTROL_DAMPING
Example of: Cantilever Beam
Example Filenames: beam.free.214.k and beam.dr.214.k
Description:
A cantilever beam is subjected to a load at the free end. The beam then vibrates relative to
the equilibrium position without damping in case 1 and with damping in case 2.
Model:
The beam measures 1000 100 10 mm
3
and is modeled by 10 Belytschko-Tsay shell
elements. A force of 10 N is applied in the z-direction at the free end. The calculation ends
at 0.5 seconds.
Input for the undamped system:
The force at the free end is applied as two point forces. The size of these forces is controlled by
load curve definition number 1 (*DEFINE_CURVE, *LOAD_NODE_SET).
The binary plot files d3plot and d3thdt contain complete nodal and element information for
all nodes and element and selected nodes and elements, respectively. The ASCII-files contain
additional information shown below. Data from ASCII-files can be processed in LS-TAURUS
in phase 3. The time interval between ASCII data dumps is specified in Control card 22-24.
SECFORC
This data set contains information about specified cross sections (*DATABASE_SECFORC)
such as cross section forces and moments.
NODOUT
This data set contains displacements, velocities and accelerations for nodes specified in the
Time History block (*DATABASE_NODOUT).
ELOUT
This data set contains stresses and strains in the integration points for elements specified in
the Time History block (*DATABASE_ELOUT, *DATABASE_HISTORY_SHELL).
Input for the damped system:
The same input as in the undamped case except for a global damping constant
(*DAMPING_GLOBAL, *CONTROL_DAMPING).

Example of: Hemispherical Load
Example Filenames: hemi.load.212.k,hemi.load.212.t
Description:
A spherical shell is subjected to two outward point loads on the x-axis and two inward
point loads on the y-axis.
Model:
The
1
8 symmetry model of a sphere measures 10 inches in radius with a thickness of 0.04
inches. The model contains 48 shell elements. A force of one pound is applied in the
positive x-direction to the node on the x-axis. A force of one pound is applied in the
negative y-direction to the node on the y-axis. The calculation terminates at 0.018 seconds.
Input:
The element formulation is the Hughes-Liu shell, 1. (*CONTROL_SHELL) The
Belytschko Tsay shell requires the Belytschko-Wang-Chiang warpage stiffness
modification (*CONTROL_SHELL). The concentrated loads are applied to two nodes
(*DEFINE_CURVE, *LOAD_NODE_POINT).
Results:
The oscillation of the node on the z-axis shows a regular oscillatory behavior. The first
figure shows incorrect results while the second figure shows the correct results.
Reference:

Example of: Billet Upset
Example Filenames:
billet.forge-frmp.209.k billet.forge-frmp.209.r
billet.forge-rmp.209.i billet.forge.209.i
billet.forge-rmp.209.r billet.forge.209.srf
Execution: LS-DYNA3D i=billet.forge.209.k
LS-DYNA3D i=billet .forge-rmp.209.r r = d3dump02 q=remap
Description:
A rod of steel is forged between two dies. The billet upset problem is a measure of friction
under forming conditions.
Model:
The billet material is isotropic elastic-plastic, and the model has
1
8 symmetry. The billet
measures 2.25 inches in height and 1.26 inches in radius. The die compresses the billet 1.60
inches. The relationship between the shear friction and the normal pressure is bilinear.
Input:
The mass scaling time step size is set to 12 microseconds (*CONTROL_TIMESTEP). The
billet nodes contact the die surfaces (*CONTACT_NODES_TO_SURFACE). The Coulomb
frictional constant is 0.10 and the constant shear is 2,055 psi . A half sine wave defines the
velocity of the die (*DEFINE_LOAD, *BOUNDARY_PRESCRIBED_MOTION).
Procedure for remapping:
1. Extract nodal coordinates at the desired time to remap. LS-TAURUS provides a
means for dumping nodal coordinates using the geometry command.
2. The connectivities of the exterior surface of the original model combined with the
deformed nodal coordinates define an enclosed discretized surface.
3. Create a new initial LS-DYNA3D input deck by remeshing the volume contained by
the discretized surface.
4. LS-TAURUS does not read mixed values of nodes and elements, so move the old
binary plot files.
Results:
The results show that effective plastic strains before and after remapping are unchanged.

Description:
Two cubes are connected by bars to a pendulum. One cube is in a horizontal position with
gravitational acceleration, base acceleration. The cubes are treated as rigid bodies while no
contact or deformation occurs. The cubes are flexible during contact. Then, the cubes
become rigid again.
Model:
Both cubes are modeled as one volume element with side length 10 mm. The elastic
material describes both cubes and the bars. The distance from the middle of the cube to the
bearing shaft is 100 mm. The system is subjected to an acceleration of gravity of 10,000
kg mm /second
2
.
The calculations terminate at 0.5 seconds.
Input:
Base acceleration defines gravity (*LOAD_BODY_Y), which is changed in time by a load
curve (*DEFINE_CURVE). Surface to surface contact type 3 defines the interface
between the two cubes (*CONTACT_SURFACE_TO_SURFACE).
The material definition of the cubes changes to a rigid material in the beginning of the
calculations (*DEFORMABLE_TO_RIGID).

LS-DYNA3D Manual Section: *INTEGRATION_SHELL
Example of: Cantilever Beam with Lobotto Integration
Example File Name: beam.lobotto.5.k
beam.lobotto.5.i
Description:
A cantilever beam has a concentrated load, and then the beam vibration critically damps.
Lobotto integration rules place the quadrature points on the true surfaces on the shell. [See
Hughes].
Model:
The plate measures 1.00 0.10 0.01 in
3
and is modeled with 60 Belytschko-Tsay shell
elements. The displacement of the nodes is fixed at one end and a concentrated load of
0.05 pounds is applied to the other end. Symmetry conditions for the plane strain case
exist on the beam sides. The termination time is 0.01 seconds plus the period of the beam.
Input:
The concentrated loads and load curve definition 1 defines the load on the end of the beam
(*LOAD_NODE_POINT, *DEFINE_CURVE). The beam is critically damped
(*DAMPING_GLOBAL) The number of integration points is 5 (*SECTION_SHELL).
The shell integration rule is the Lobotto integration rule (*SECTION_SHELL)
Results:
The displacement of the beam damps out critically. The x-stress values at the integration
points exhibit tension on one side, compression on the opposite side, and balance at the
neutral axis.

LS-DYNA3D Manual Section: *INTERFACE_COMPONENT
Example of: Response of a Cube
Example File Names: cube.inter.11.k and cube.inter.11.rk
Execution Line:
LS-DYNA3D i=cube.inter.11.k z=d3iff
LS-DYNA3D i=cube.inter.11.rk l=d3iff
Description:
A cube, one solid element, strikes and rebounds from an elastic plate. In the first run,
interface files contains the position of the master side of the slideline. In the second run, the
cube mesh refinement increases from 1 element to 8 elements. The slideline of the first
simulation is then tied to the slideline of the second simulation.
Model:
The material of the cube and the plate are elastic. The plate, that measures 40 40 2
mm
3
, is modeled with 16 Belytschko-Tsay shell elements . The cube has a side length of
10 mm and is initially positioned 10 mm above the plate. The initial velocity of the cube is
100 mm/s. The calculations will run until 0.0003 seconds.
Input of the first run:
The position of the nodes on the surface facing the plate, are recorded every 2 10
-6
seconds in the Interface-File . The initial velocity of the cube is on the solid element by the
Box-Option (*INITIAL_VELOCITY). Surface to surface contact, type 3, with thickness
projections represents the contact between the plate and cube.
(*CONTACT_SURFACE_TO_SURFACE, *CONTROL_CONTACT)
Input of the second run:
The mesh on the cube now contains eight solid elements with new node numbers. The
nodes in the Interface-File are also defined. Tied surface to surface contact ties the surface
to the position of the surface in the prior analysis. The prior surface is the master surface
and the current surface is the slave surface (*INTERFACE_LINKING).

LS-DYNA3D Manual Section: *LOAD_BODY_GENERALIZED
Additional Sections: *DEFINE_CURVE
*CONTROL_DAMPING
Example of: Rotating Elements
Example Filename: shell.gbf.45.k
Description:
A body has constant angular velocity. The radial vibration introduced due to the rapid
deployment of the rotation is damped out in the initialization phase using dynamic
relaxation.
Model:
The body measures 200 100 10 mm
3
. The body consists of 2 Belytschko-Tsay elastic
shell elements. The body rotates about the y-axis at 62.83 radians per second. The
analysis ends at 0.1 seconds.
Input:
All nodes have an initial translational velocity based on the angular velocity v=omega x r.
(*LOAD_BODY_GENERALIZED, *DEFINE_CURVE). Dynamic relaxation damps
oscillations in the radial direction during the initialization. This essentially pre-stresses the
structure and the load continues into the analysis portion.
(*LOAD_BODY_GENERALIZED)
Because of the condition of constant angular velocity of the two nodes on the axis of
rotation, the motion remains uniform throughout the calculation
(*INITIAL_VELOCITY_NODE).
The section forces are available in the ASCII database file, SECFORC
(*DATABASE_SECFORC).

LS-DYNA3D Manual Section: *MAT_FRAZER_NASH_RUBBER_MODEL
Example of: Frazer-Nash Single Element
Example File Name: element.fn-rubber.331.k
Description:
This model illustrated the behavior of the Frazer Nash rubber model using a singe element.
Model:
The example contains a single element which measures 7.5 7.5 100. The element is
constrained in the z-direction on the bottom and has prescribed velocity on the top surface.
Input:
Unitary input for any constant indicates least squares curve fitting.
(*MAT_FRAZER_NASH_RUBBER). The least squares curve fit requires speciman
dimensions and a stress-strain load curve. The model provides the option to stop the
calculation based on maximum and minimum strain values.
Results:
The plots show the compressibility of the element.

LS-DYNA3D Manual Section: *MAT_SOIL_AND_FOAM
Example of: Soil and Foam Single Element
Example File Name: element.foam.35.k
element.foam.35.t
Description:
This problem contains a single element with one degree of freedom on a side. The element
compresses and expands.
Model:
The element measures 100 cubic inches. One side follows a velocity curve which results in
a range of relative volume (V/Vo) 1.000 to 0.0091 to 1.441.
Input:
The foam follows a pressure volumetric strain relationship (*MAT_SOIL_AND_FOAM).
The unloading behavior may follow either the unloading bulk modulus or the loading
curve. The unloading in the first case follows the loading curve, while the unloading in the
second case follows a bulk modulus. The material has a cutoff pressure of 0.5 tonnes.
Results:
The plots show the element pressure versus time.

Example of: Belted Dummy with Springs
Example Filename: dummy.belted.50.k
Description:
This is a simulation of the interaction between a dummy and seating system. The dummy
has an initial velocity, base vehicle acceleration, and decelerated base.
Model:
The dummy consists of 15 ellipsoidal rigid bodies connected through cylindrical joints,
springs and dampers. The base of the seat belts and the seat decelerates backwards relative
to the dummy. The termination of the calculation is 12.
Input:
The dummy consists of rigid bodies 1 through 15 (*MAT_RIGID). Materials 16 through
20 define the seat and material 21 and 22 define the seat belt. The rigid bodies are
constrained with respect to each other with spherical joints
(*CONSTRAINED_JOINT_SPHERICAL). Discrete springs and dampers between the
rigid body provide the relative stiffness and viscosity (*ELEMENT_DISCRETE). The
initial velocity of all nodes is 14.8 units (*INITIAL_VELOCITY_NODE), while the
acceleration of the seat and belt ends follow an acceleration curve in the opposite direction.
(*DEFINE_CURVE) Load curve 51 defines the base acceleration (*LOAD_BODY_Z).
Results:
LS-DYNA3D predicts that the dummy slides under the seat belts.

LS-DYNA3D Manual Section: *RIGIDWALL_PLANAR_FORCES;
Example of: Cube Rebounding
Example Filename: cube.stone.27.k
Description:
A cube impacts and rebounds from a rigid plate (Stonewall). The plate is modeled with
shell elements for viewing in LS-TAURUS.
Model:
The cube measures 10 10 10 mm
3
and is 10 mm above the rigid plate. It has 8 brick
elements with elastic material properties. The initial velocity of the cube is 100,000
mm/second. The plate is an infinite Stonewall - surface. Termination time is 0.0004
seconds.
Input:
The box option defines the nodes with the initial velocity (*INITIAL_VELOCITY. The
location of the Stonewall is at z=0 (*RIGIDWALL_PLANAR_FORCES). The nine
nodes on the lower side of the cube are slave nodes to the Stonewall definition. These
slave nodes will not pass this plane within 10 time steps by the contact with the
stonewall.

LS-DYNA3D Section Manual: *RIGIDWALL_PLANAR
Example of: Rotating Shell Strikes Stonewall
Example Filename: shell.stone.27.k
Description:
A rotating shell element strikes and rebounds from a stonewall surface. The plate is modeled
with shell elements for viewing in LS-TAURUS. This does not affect the calculation.
Model:
The shell element has an elastic material model with Belytschko-Tsay shell formulation. The
plate measures 10 10 2 mm
3
. The plate has an initial velocity of 100,000 mm/second in
negative z-direction and an initial angular velocity of 100,000 radians/second about the y-
axis. The rigid surface is modeled by an infinite smooth stonewall surface. The termination
time is 0.0002 seconds.
Input:
All nodes have initial velocity (*INITIAL_VELOCITY). The location of the Stonewall is
in the x-y plane with z=0 (*RIGIDWALL_PLANAR). The 4 nodes belonging to the shell
element are slave nodes in the stonewall definition. The velocity components of the slave
nodes in the normal direction to the stonewall are reset to zero at the moment of impact.
