    This course

    We use ANSYS LS-DYNA.

    ANSYS LS-DYNA combines the LS-DYNA explicit finite element program with the powerful pre- and postprocessing capabilities of the ANSYS program. The explicit method of solution used by LS-DYNA provides fast solutions for short-time, large deformation dynamics, quasi-static problems with large deformations and multiple nonlinearites, and complex contact/impact problems. Using this integrated product, you can model your structure in ANSYS, obtain the explicit dynamic solution via LS-DYNA, and review results using the standard ANSYS postprocessing tools.You can also transfer geometry and results information between ANSYS and ANSYS LS-DYNA to perform sequential implicit-explicit / explicit-implicit analyses, such as those required for droptest, springback and other applications.

    These elements assume a linear displacement function; higher order elements with a quadratic displacement function are not available. Therefore, the explicit dynamic elements are not available with extra shape functions, midside nodes, or p-elements. Explicit elements with linear displacement functions and one point integration are best suited for nonlinear applications with large deformations and material failure.

    SOLID168 element is a higher order 3-D, 10-node explicit dynamic element. SOLID168 has a quadratic displacement behavior and is well suited to modeling irregular meshes such as those produced from various CAD/CAM systems. SOLID168 can be used with the existing ANSYS Workbench. The element is defined by ten nodes having three degrees of freedom at each node: translations in the nodal x, y, and z directions.

    Models made up entirely of SOLID168 elements may not be as accurate as hexahedral SOLID164 models.

    Hourglassing (cont.)

    Hourglassing is a zero-energy mode of deformation that oscillates at a frequency much higher than the structures global response. Hourglassing modes result in stable mathematical states that are not physically possible. They typically have no stiffness and give a zigzag deformation appearance to a mesh.

    Single-point (reduced) integration elements are prone to zero energy modes.

    The occurrence of hourglass deformations in an analysis can invalidate results and should always be minimized or eliminated.

    If the overall hourglass energy is more than 10% of the internal energy of a model, there is likely a problem with the analysis. Even 5% can be considered excessive, in some cases.

    Hourglassing control

    Minimizing hourglassing in ANSYS LS-DYNA

    (A) Avoid single point loads, which are known to excite hourglass modes. Since one excited element transfers the mode to its neighbors, point loads should not be applied. Try to apply loads over several elements as pressures, if possible. (, )

    (B) Refining the mesh often reduces hourglass energy, but a larger model corresponds to increased solution time and larger results files. (mesh)

    (C) Use fully integrated elements, which do not experience hourglassing modes. However, penalties in solution speed, robustness, and even accuracy may result, depending on the application. Full integration is not available for PLANE162 elements and beam elements do not require it. ()

    Hourglassing control (cont.) Minimizing hourglassing in ANSYS LS-DYNA (continued)

    (D) Globally adjust the models bulk viscosity to reduce hourglass deformations. It is possible to increase the bulk viscosity of a model using the linear and quadratic coefficients of the EDBVIS command. () Solution > Analysis Options > Bulk Viscosity

    It is not recommended to dramatically change the default values (1.5 and 0.06)of the EDBVIS command.

    Viscous hourglass control is recommended for problems deforming with very high velocities(e.g., shock waves).

    Applicable elements include PLANE162 and SOLID164.

    Minimizing hourglassing in ANSYS LS-DYNA (continued)

    (E) Globally add elastic stiffness to reduce hourglass energy. This can be done for the entire model by increasing the hourglassing coefficient (HGCO) of the EDHGLScommand. () Solution > Analysis Options > Hourglass Ctrls > Global

    Care should be used when increasing the hourglassing coefficient. Values above 0.15 have been found to over-stiffen the models response during large deformations and cause instabilities.

    Stiffness hourglass control is recommended for problems deforming with lower velocities (e.g., metal forming and crash).

    Applicable elements include PLANE162, SHELL163, and SOLID164.

    Hourglassing control (cont.)

    Ref: ANSYS training materials ANSYS LS-DYNA (ANSYS, Inc.)

    Minimizing hourglassing in ANSYS LS-DYNA (continued)

    (F) Locally reduce hourglassing in high risk areas of a model without dramatically changing the models global stiffness. The EDMP, HGLS command is used to apply hourglass control only to a specific material. Define the hourglass control type (viscous or stiffness), hourglass coefficient, bulk viscosity coefficient, and shell bending and shell warping coefficients. (hourglassing) Solution > Analysis Options > Hourglass Ctrls > Local

    LS-DYNA locally applies hourglass control on a Part ID basis (not on a material basis), so any Part with the specified material will have this hourglass control.

    VAL1=5 is often used to reduce hourglassing.

    LoadingUnlike an implicit static analysis, an explicit dynamic analysis must have all loads

    applied as a function of time. The load step concept of general ANSYS does not apply.

    Because of the time dependence, many standard ANSYS loading commands (e.g., F and SF) are not valid in ANSYS LS-DYNA.

    There is a unique procedure for applying loads in an explicit dynamic analysis using two array parameters. One array is for the time values and the other array is for the loading condition.

    Damping is used to reduce unwanted dynamic response from the loading.

    Damping

    Damping is needed to minimize unrealistic oscillations in the response of a structure during a transient dynamic analysis.

    Both mass-weighted (alpha) and stiffness-weighted (beta) damping can be applied in ANSYS LS-DYNA using the EDDAMP command:Preprocessor > Material Props > Damping ...

    OR a constant damping coefficient

    Time step

    ANSYS LS-DYNA checks all elements when calculating the required time step. For stability reasons a scale factor of 0.9 (default) is used to decrease the time step:

    The characteristic length l and the wave propagation velocity c are dependent on element type:

    Time step (cont.)

    Note: The critical time step size is automatically calculated by LS-DYNA. It depends on element lengths and material properties (sonic speed). It rarely needs to be over-ridden by the user.

    10-6 sec is typical.
