Layered Slab (LS-DYNA)
When modelling composite shells (e.g. CLT or reinforced concrete) it is convenient to specify the sheel properties in terms of layers of different materials.
When modelling composite shells (e.g. CLT or reinforced concrete) it is convenient to specify the sheel properties in terms of layers of different materials.
This allows various key parameters to be included in the LS-DYNA export. Refer to the LS-DYNA manuals for a detailed description of these parameters.
The GSA analysis options are focused on linear and mildly nonlinear problems. In some cases it is necessary to use a more advanced analysis. This can be provided by LS-DYNA. This analysis option allows the GSA model to be used to create an LS-DYNA analysis
The way in which GSA defines spring properties is different to the way that they are defined in LS-DYNA. If the model is to be transferred to LS_DYNA this can be run to ensure that the spring will transfer properly.
