Objectives
This lecture concerns Solution and Simulation Controls. The tools used to optimize
and control explicit analyses are discussed.
Topics:
A. Basic ANSYS LS-DYNA Solution Controls
B. Controlling LS-DYNA Binary Output Files
C. Controlling LS-DYNA ASCII Output Files
D. Visualization of Small Time Steps
E. Mass Scaling
F. Additional Time Controls
G. Adaptive Meshing
H. Simulation Control
I. Editing the LS-DYNA Input File
J. LS-DYNA Batch Launcher
K. LS-DYNA Solver Precision
L. Solution and Simulation Controls Workshop
For some of the ASCII output files, data is written only for a subset of
the model. The EDHIST command specifies which nodal and element
components data will be written for:
Solution > Output Controls > Select Component
Output frequency controlled
by EDHTIME command.
Multiple selections allowed.
lmin l2
element 1 2 3
t min
c c
l1 l2 l3 E

(1 2 )
The equation can be rearranged to find the required density of each
element for a desired time step size. By adding the corresponding
mass to these elements, the solution time will be reduced.
t specified
2
(1 2 ) i This procedure is known as mass
li E scaling. However, care must be
2 taken as to not add so much mass
t specified E as to invalidate the results
i for element i
li2 (1 2 )
Error in mass:
Physical mass 1.26 metric tons
Added mass 0.000027 metric tons (27 grams) => recorded in d3hsp file
Error in mass 0.002% (insignificant)
The coordinates of the mass center have changed slightly, too.
Refined
Mesh
Next, globally set adaptive meshing controls for all Part IDs specified.

LS-PREPOST, which is also not supported, can always be used to validate the
results, but using the ANSYS postprocessors POST1 and POST26 may not be
possible, depending on the changes.
The SOLVE command should not be used, since it not only issues the
EDWRITE command (overwriting any existing Jobname.K file), it also
immediately submits the input file to the LS-DYNA solver without
allowing the desired changes to be made.
Solution > Write Jobname.K
Default (ANSYS) option only has
results written to ANSYS .RST
and .HIS files. Choose an
option that includes LS-DYNA
results files

... Editing the LS-DYNA Input File
Exit the ANSYS LS-DYNA Interface : /EXIT
In order to free up the license, you will need to exit the program.
On the PC, use double quotes to enclose the entire command string
(due to the spaces) to execute the LS-DYNA script:
On the PC, the ANSYS Launcher is accessed from the Start button:
Start > Programs > ANSYS 11.0 > ANSYS Product Launcher
The DP version may be up to 20% slower than the SP version, but the
additional accuracy it provides may be needed for long-duration events.
Tracking the motion of a bouncing block is an example in which a little
error at the beginning of the analysis can result in large amounts of
compounded error by the end of the simulation.
