Micro Abstract:
LSTC (Livermore Software Technology Corp.) has started to implement NURBS based finite elements into their widely used commercial simulation package LS-DYNA. This work will give a short overview about the general possibilities of isogeometric shells in LS-DYNA and focus on the recent advances for the analysis of Sheet Metal Forming Applications. A benchmark example from the Numisheet 2005 conference is analyzed and compared with the results achieved with state-of-the-art methods.
