Course Description: 
This course focuses on the application of LS-DYNA for the simulation of high energy events. The analysis methods and modeling are illustrated through case studies. An emphasis is placed on modeling techniques including guidelines for which technique(s) to select, insights into which techniques work well and when, and possible pitfalls in modeling choice selections. Sufficient mathematical theory is presented for each technique, especially Eulerian, to provide the typical user with adequate knowledge to confidently apply the appropriate analysis technique. 
 
Days 1 & 2:
Blast events form a class of simulation environments well suited to the solution capabilities of LS-DYNA. LS-DYNA is unique in offering the analyst the choice of Lagrange, Eulerian (ALE) and Simple Engineering solvers, and combinations of these solvers, for simulating high energy events such as blast loading. In addition to air blast, the traditional focus of blast modeling, buried explosive charges have recently become important in the design of troop transportation.
 
Days 3 & 4: Penetration events form a class of simulation environments well suited to the solution capabilities of LS-DYNA. LS-DYNA is unique in offering the analyst the choice of Lagrange, Eulerian (ALE) and Meshfree Methods, and combinations of these methods, for simulating high energy events such as penetration and perforation. In addition to high energy, these events are typically associated with large deformations, damage, and failure both on the material and structural level. During the past decade successful modeling of such damage and failure has moved steadily from a 'Black Art' to a widely accepted engineering practice.

Prerequisites: 
This training class is intended for the LS-DYNA users with an understanding of the LS-DYNA keywords and options associated with typical Lagrangian analyses. The typical attendee is likely to have a background in defense applications, to include protective structures and vehicles, homeland defense topics, and terrorist threat mitigation techniques.
