Moreover, these problems could be solved either as separated phenomena or as couple physics. This handout is intended to assist the new LS-DYNA user get started. 2 Running LS-DYNA Before you can run LS-DYNA on the CADE machines (Lab 1 machines only), you must include these two environment on your account. • setenv LSTC LICENSE SERVER • setenv LSTC CLIENT DEBUG on This is done by simply typing these lines at the command prompt on your shell. If your account has .cshrc file, you can also add these two lines to the environment part as well. Currently, LS-DYNA can only be run on the machines in Lab 1 only. In this class, we will run LS-DYNA from the keyword input file. Keyword input organizes the database by grouping similar function under the same keyword. It is a good idea to organize the structure block of the keyword input as following: 1. define solution control and output parameters 2. define model geometry and material parameters 3. define boundary conditions Students are encouraged to download the Keyword User’s Manual for detailed explanations.
