For more than three decades, Ansys LS-DYNA usage in the simulation of sheet metal stamping has been steadily increasing due to its reputation for prediction accuracy. During this period, state-of-the art constitutive models were added for simulating high strength steel and aluminum alloys now commonly used in the automotive industry.
In addition, the improved robustness, speed and accuracy of the implicit solver has made gravity loading, binder wrap and springback calculations routine. Die face compensation calculations in LS-DYNA save money and time by eliminating the trial and error in die manufacturing.
