Following other authors modeling techniques I plan to perform a static simulation. I am new with LS Dyna so I would appreciate some suggestions and general guidance on how to do this.<\/p>\n<p>I previously worked with Abaqus (standard which uses an implicit solver) in which I had the option to enforce a static case by using a keyword and then define a &#8220;dummy time&#8221; for the load to be applied. I guess the time wasn&#8217;t really important there because it was a static case.<\/p>\n<p>Within LS Dyna, however, I am not entirely sure what I should do. I am aware that LS Dyna uses an explicit solver by default. I noticed that the results change considerably depending on the time I choose to simulate in *CONTROL_TERMINATION and the curve load defined in *DEFINE_CURVE (a ramp curve together with *LOAD_NODE_SET). I am not sure if this is right so I started exploring the implicit solver since I saw that I can use a static option. So my questions are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can I use both explicit and implicit solvers to perform a static simulation or is there a preferred option?\n<ul>\n<li>What kind of parameters should I choose for an implicit solver?<\/li>\n<li>If possible with explicit (what I have done so far), what variables do I need to check so that this simulation represents a static case or at least a quasi-static one? What about the time I need to simulate until the results stop changing?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thanks,&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Andres<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-285804","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-biomechanics","topic-tag-static-structural","topic-tag-structural"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hello all!I am currently developing a wrist model.
