About LS-PrePost
LS-PrePost is an advanced pre and post-processor designed specifically for LS-DYNA
LS-PrePost is developed for Windows and Linux
LS-PrePost is FREE!
Core Functionality
• Full support of LS-DYNA keyword files
• Full support of LS-DYNA results files
• Robust handling of geometry data (new CAD engine in 3.0)
• Pre-processing (meshing, model clean-up, entity creation)
• Post-processing (animation, fringe plotting, curve plotting)

Tool Mesh Checking
91
Summary: Check and merge duplicate nodes, tolerance 0.05mm – good for most cases; In this
workshop, 0.3mm tolerance was used. Check for Normal consistency – all tooling mesh normals should be consistent; Normal orientation: blank normal up, upper tools normal down, lower tools normal up; Free edge – use ElEdit to check for free edges; Small gaps mostly okay, big overlaps will
be a problem; Check zero or very small Jocabian for collapsed elements; This messes up the normal
determinations for contact. Use “model check” Least amount of re-work needed for tool mesh if LSPP tool mesher is used.

Current Capability (Con’t) Automatic recognition of ELFORM and NIP from dynain file;
User material library.
Three-levels of computing options in Forming for optimal balance of
speed and accuracy:
Advance feasibility – very fast and reliable, w/ some inertia
effect;
For formability – fast and accurate, inertia minimized;
For springback – most accurate, for springback and
compensation.
Three-levels of computing options in Flanging:
Fast – initial flangebility check, explicit dynamic;
Accurate – explicit dynamic with minimum inertia effect;
Implicit Static – no inertia effect.
Tailor-welded blanks capable
Optional selective mass scaling for all explicit computing

DYNAIN Project file When using a dynain file for a new simulation
always move the dynain file (renamed it to last.dynain) to the current directory,
same location as the new project file will be located
always read the last.dynain file first into LSPP for eZ-Setup
always answer ‘YES’ to skip reading stress/strain
when sending the project file to other people, include the last.dynain file
1) Always move last.dynain file into the current directory. 2) Always read in the sheet blank file first, import/offset
tooling element/node IDs. 3) Always answer YES. 4) Send project file and dynain file together. 5) Note, in output file: ‘filename.blk’ has no stress/strain.
‘filename’.dynain has stress/strain.

Simulation involving gravity, springback, static implicit must use double precision (DP) solver
All other dynamic explicit simulation (for example, draw or flanging) use SP solver
DP solver slower than SP solver
Use: double precision for this run

Function Keys
F1 launches Function Key interface shown below (shows layout of the function keys)
Except for F1 and F10, all other function keys can be programmed to act as a button
Also, a command file with the name F#.cfile can be called using F# (place file in current working directory)
Function keys can be customized in the configuration file (lsppconf)

Configuration File (lsppconf)
LS-PrePost searches for this file in these directories in the following order...
• LSTC_FILE directory
• User’s home directory (Linux)
• \user\youlongin\AppData\Roaming\LSTC\LS-PrePost (Window 7)
• Current working directory
For parameters that are defined multiple times, the last one found will be used
Not all parameters are required (to simplify, define changed parameters only)
Use File > Save > Save Config to save file lsppconf in your application data folder

Procedures
Import IGES files:
Numisheet08-BM03-Blank.igs
Numisheet08-BM03-Blankholder.igs
Numisheet08-BM03-Dies.igs
Numisheet08-BM03-Punch.igs
drawbeads.iges
Automesh/deviation, use these parameters
Mesh blank, element size=20mm;
Check model – free edge, dup nodes, Jacobian, normals, etc.;
Position tools into home position, blank thickness=1.95mm;
Measure distance first, then EleTol/Transf/translate by part;
Blank position does not need to be moved.
Activate eZ-Setup, air draw:
Process: gravity (prebend along Y-axis) + forming;
Use material BH210.

Procedures
Draw beads definition
Select all four draw bead curves and define them as draw beads;
Check for tensile value;
Modified fore and aft draw beads to 40% lock.
In “Control-gravity”, check for gravity prebend along Y-axis. In “Control-forming”, change
nothing.
Save a project file, and output simulation file.
Run simulation using a command file (METHOD 2)
Try removing gravity from the process, just run the
forming with single precision solver
Post-processing results –
Open case5.d3plot (gravity). Animate gravity simulation. Can you see a slight bending
in the blank in the start of the simulation?
Open case10.d3plot (forming)
Animate punch contact;
Plot thinning contour, range 0 ~ 20%;
Do a section cut along X in the middle of the part in thinning contour; Animate in
section view; Also, plot thinning distribution along the cut section.
Plot mean stress (pressure) contour, range positive yield ~ negative tensile (MPa);
Plot FLD and FLD formability;
Check for in-plane major/minor strain vectors at the lower door corners
Check for % mass increase.
Simulation involving gravity, springback, static implicit must use double precision (DP) solver
DP solver slower than SP solver

Pre-bending for Gravity
From true flat shape, all blanks have tendency to bend either in concave or convex shape.
Most blanks sent to a draw die (in air) are made sure it is in convex shape, either by pre-bending, suction cups, mechanical means, etc.
This new feature allows for SLIGHT AMOUNT of pre-bending of blank in either convex, or concave shape prior to loading onto the tools.
Done at the same time before the gravity loading is started
