Hello, 

Or you could apply the preload using Ansys Static Structural and connect to an LS-DYNA system in WB:

In this case, in LS-DYNA Mechanical, you have to set the Dynamic Relaxation to "Explicit After Ansys Solution":

You will find more information in the Ansys documentation:

Let me know how it goes.
