Fluid-Structure Interaction in LS-DYNA: Industrial Applications Available to Purchase

A new Fluid Sructure coulping algorithms basesd on the penalty method is dpresented in thi spaper. The coupling algorithm and improved multi-material ALE-capabilities have made LS-DYNA an efficient tool for analyzing large deformation processes, such as bird strike events, forging operations and penetration problems and airbag simumations. This paper contains five example problems that illustrate the current features of the code.
