| The LS-PrePost Introductory Course was held October 21-22, 2010 at TRACC in West Chicago with interactive participation on-site as well as remotely via the Internet. Intended primarily for finite element analysts with prior knowledge of LS-DYNA, the course focused on the early stage of model development within LS-PrePost including geometry cleanup, mesh quality control and model checking tasks. The primary goal of the course was to introduce software capabilities with an emphasis on applying these capabilities to build computationally efficient models. All introduced techniques and tools were illustrated through simple hands-on examples. Also presented were specifics for running and tracking LS-DYNA jobs on the TRACC cluster in our newly developed graphical mode. | |
