Hi Kyle, 

It's amazing to see that you are taking interested in the brain injury biomechanics, the topic that you would like to explore more is Finite Element Human Body Models (FE HBM). Please search and you will find good books talking about FE HBMs.

Before you are going to start generating your own model, you can look at available free models HBMs e.g., THUMS models. Alternatively, you can start your journey with dummy models. You can download them from here: https://lsdyna.ansys.com/lstc-dummy-models-overview/

I think for now it would be easier to run LS-DYNA via LS-RUN and pre-post analysis using LS-PrePost. Here you can find a presentation regarding LS-PrePost   https://ftp.lstc.com/anonymous/outgoing/lsprepost/Training/Intro/LS-PrePost_Intro.pdf

Lastly, have a look at the examples available at https://lsdyna.ansys.com/knowledge-base/simple-examples/

Good luck, 
Alex.
