LS-OPT is a standalone Design Optimization and Probabilistic Analysis package with an interface to LS-DYNA. In the “conventional design” approach, a design is improved by evaluating its “response” and making design changes based on experience or intuition. This approach does not always lead to the desired result, that of a ‘best’ design, since the design objectives are often in conflict. It is therefore not always clear how to change the design to achieve the best compromise of these objectives. A systematic approach can be obtained by using an inverse process of first specifying the criteria and then computing the ‘best’ design according to a formulation. The improvement procedure that incorporates design criteria into a mathematical framework is referred to as...
LS-DYNA is the most used explicit simulation program in the world and is capable of simulating the response of materials to short periods of severe loading. Its many elements, contact formulations, material models and other controls can be used to simulate complex models with control over all the details of the problem. Ansys LS-DYNA applications include: Explosion / Penetration Bird Strike Crashworthiness / Airbag Simulations Splashing / Hydroplaning / Sloshing Incompressible and Compressible Fluids Stamping / Forming / Drawing / Forging Biomedical and Medical Devices Simulations Drop Test of All Forms Impacts Product Misuse / Severe Loadings Product Failure / Fragmentation Large Plasticity in Mechanisms Sports Equipment Design Manufacturing Processes Like Machining / Cutting / Drawing Vehicle Crash and Occupant Safety
OrthoGen’s interface to Autodesk Plant 3D’s data base selects objects from your local SQL Lite or Network data bases. Using ACAD viewports allows auto annotations to be integrated with 2D embellishment work. Since this is a standard ACAD environment. OrthoGen integrates with existing user developed commands, details, standards, and block libraries. OrthoGen® is a software program that streamlines projects by automating orthographic drawing production by eliminating repetitive tasks, pin-pointing plant objects and locations, protecting data integrity, sharing drawings and data, and producing fast-consistent design drawings. Automatic drawings generated from 3D models are created in a fraction of the time previously spent, and they accurately and consistently reflect model conditions.
