Visual-Crash for DYNA is the most competitive environment solution for LS-DYNA solver. It helps engineers perform crash and safety simulations in the smoothest and fastest possible way by offering an intuitive windows-based graphical interface with customizable toolbars and complete session support. Being integrated in ESI Group’s Open VTOS, an open collaborative multi-disciplinary engineering framework, Visual-Crash for DYNA allows users to focus and rely on high quality digital models from start to finish as it addresses the coupling with tier Finite Element or Rigid Body simulation software. Leveraging this state of the art environment , Visual Viewer, a visualization and plotting solution, helps analyze LS-DYNA results within a single user interface. Visual Viewer performs automated tasks and generate customized reports therefore increasing engineers productivity.

A powerful solution for an efficient data organization: A very difficult and time consuming task of retaining include files without merging all data into one single model has become simple task in VCD.•Creating, modifying, deleting and viewing of include files as sub-models and main model is available in the interface.•Identification and automatic grouping of connections – both within and between sub-models (include files)•Ability to locate any entity and identify the appropriate sub-model•Ability to work with and export only selected sub-models as include files.

Model Check, DYNA-MADYMO Coupling and Advanced Safety and Welding Functionalities

Meshing and Mesh Editing:

Visual-Crash DYNA offers state-of-the art mesh editing capabilities like remesh, split, combine, align, smooth, etc..

Visual-Mesh, the meshing solution in Visual-Environment offers Automesh, Batch Meshing, Topo Mesh, Layer Mesh etc. This context supports all CAD reading.

As the utmost environment for LS-DYNA, Visual-Crash DYNA supports all LS-DYNA usual and advanced features such as:

•All types of solver data checks like Kinematic Checks and Model Data Checks,

1D Free elements ( rigid bodies, Springs, Beams/Bar and Joint elements) checks

•Coupling of Madymo Dummies with DYNA structures,

•Positioning of FE and Rigid Body dummies as well as Automatic Seat Belt Creation on these dummy models

•Visual-Safe, the safety dedicated environment of Visual-Environment, tackles Simulation based morphing of Seat Models

Process AutomationVisual-Process, the process automation solution in the Visual-Environment enables the users to seamlessly switch to Visual-Crash DYNA and update the model and then switch back to Visual-Process context and continue execution

In this interface, customized process templates are available to execute for particular modeling or any task automatically or semi-automatically
