Hello!

I want to do a crashbox simulation in LS-DYNA. I will use an aluminum profile and compress it with a very low velocity such as 100 mm/min.

I have used implicit analysis for it and selected static analysis from implicit dynamics. However, how could I be sure that I am really doing a quasistatic analysis? I have uploaded my .k file with an extension of .txt for you to check it.

Thank you for reminding me. If you look at images below, you can see what kind of analysis I am trying to do. This compression analysis must be a quasi static analysis since the press has a very low velocity in real life. nI gave motion to my rigid plate (Boundary Condition) and used implicit solver. I think that this analysis was a quasi static analysis since I selected implicit dynamics-static analysis by keeping the value of IMASS at zero which I show you with a red frame. However, I want to be sure that this is a quasi static analysis. In brief, my question is how could I understand I am really doing a quasi static analysis?.n

Hi goktug,nthanks for your question. To run a static analysis, make sure that IMFLAG=1 (in CONTROL_IMPLICIT_GENERAL) and IMASS=0 (in CONTROL_IMPLICT_DYNAMICS). The latter is the default value if IMFLAG=1. Appendix P of the manual vol 1 provides several recommendations on the parameters for implicit analysis. nTo confirm that you are running a static analysis, you can, for example, apply a vertical force at the top plate and then rapidly drop the force value to zero, and compare the response between IMASS=0 and IMASS=1. IMASS=1 will produce free vibration. Make sure the plate has sufficient density.nRegards,nakn

Thank you very much for your answer. If I just want to control energy, and observe that internal energy is greater than kinetic energy, would it be enough to make sure that the analysis is quasi static? n
