LS-OPT

LS-OPT allows the user to structure the design process, explore the design space and compute optimal designs according to specified constraints and objectives. The program is also highly suited to the solution of system identification problems.

The graphical tool LS-OPTui interfaces with LS-DYNA and provides an environment to specify optimization input, monitor and control parallel simulations and post-process optimization data as well as viewing multiple designs using LS-POST.

LS-POST

Post processing with LS-POST: Freeware for Unix, Linux and PC for LS-DYNA. The graphic user interface was carefully crafted to create a user friendly environment. It supports the latest Open-GL standards to provide fast rendering for fringe plots and animation results.
