Hello bolivare,

If you download the LS-DYNA solver only, you will only have the LS-DYNA solver. If you download WinSuite, then you will have WinSuite. Note that WinSuite is not available for all LS-DYNA versions.

I don't recommend installing WinSuite because you don't have the latest software (LS-DYNA solver, LS-PrePost, etc.). I recommend installing the latest versions separately. You already have the link to download LS-DYNA solvers. You will also need LS-PrePost:

LS-PrePost (latest version is 4.11):

https://ftp.lstc.com/anonymous/outgoing/lsprepost

And I recommend using LS-RUN to run LS-DYNA:

https://ftp.lstc.com/anonymous/outgoing/lsprepost/LS-Run/

LS-RUN comes with the Ansys installation and it is the way to run LS-DYNA moving forward. You will find a video tutorial on LS-RUN here:

Let me know how it goes.

 

Reno.
