Livermore Software Technology Corporation's FE Analysis (FEA) software LS-DYNA, is capable of simulating complex real world problems. LS-DYNA can predict how a prototype will respond to real-world events, thus minimizing the time spent in design and money spent on experimental testing. LS-DYNA is well optimized on all platforms and can also run on MPP platforms.
