Thank you for reaching out. The DATABASE_FORMAT IFORM=2 option (which enables storing LS-Dyna analysis results in the Ansys database format) might indeed not be available in the specific LS-Dyna SMP double precision R15 executable you have access to.

To answer your question, Ansys database format output functionality is supported, but it may require specific versions or executables that include this feature. You might need to confirm whether the executable you are using was compiled with the necessary flags for Ansys format support.

I would recommend checking with your software provider or LS-Dyna support team to obtain the appropriate SMP double precision R15 version that includes this functionality. Alternatively, you could explore other executables or versions that explicitly list support for the IFORM=2 option.
