In springback analysis I don't have enough memory or the analysis takes too much time. What can I do ?
Yes, it is possible to reduce the memory requirement and increase the computation speed in springback analysis.
Mesh coarsening, a new feature in LS-DYNA 960, can be used to
reduce the memory requirement and increase the computation speed for
springback analysis. Many unnecessary fine elements can be merged into
bigger elements with this feature. A fine mesh is necessary for a good
forming simulation and very important for setting the stage (i.e.
accurate stress) for good springback analysis. It is often not crucial
to have the fine mesh everywhere during unloading (springback
analysis). It has been proven (based on many tests) that the coarsening
algorithm used by LS-DYNA can be safely used for most production jobs.
After most of the unnecessary elements are removed from the model,
we can do the springback analysis for nearly all the production jobs.
You can also choose to perform an out of core solution if there
is insufficient memory available on the computer which is being used
