This page describes how to specify user defined material to use within LS-DYNA. The user-defined subroutines in LS-DYNA allow the program to be customized for particular applications. In order to define user material, LS-DYNA must be recompiled.
The first step to running a simulation with user defined material is to build a new executable. The following is an example done with solver version mpp971_s_R7.1.1.
ANSYS CFX (called CFX hereafter) is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program for modeling fluid flow and heat transfer in a variety of applications.
CFX is available on the Cardinal Cluster. You can see the currently available versions in the table on the main Ansys page here.
OpenFOAM is a suite of computational fluid dynamics applications. It contains myriad solvers, both compressible and incompressible, as well as many utilities and libraries.
The following versions of OpenFOAM are available on OSC clusters:
