Hi, Im Mehmet from Turkey
I am trying to anayzing side impact crash for my thesis but i didnt figure out how to do. Im new to Ls Dyna and im using student version. I found Barrier and car model for crash test but didnt figure out things.
I would like to have your help in figuring things out.
Hi @mhmtk98,
How new are you to LS-Dyna? You should try to get more familiar with the basics before undertaking a complex simulation like that, especially if it's for a thesis.
The main things that you will need to understand for a simulation like that would be:
- Learn about the vehicle and barrier model that you have and if it would be appropriate for what you propose to study for your thesis
- Learn how to setup any outputs that you wish to measure
- Setup your boundary conditions like vehicle/barrier motion (*initial velocity vs boundary prescribed motion, contacts etc)
- Learn how to extract results from the simulation through post-processing
I would suggest going through some training material and reinforcing it with some examples that you can recreate.

I imagine you have seen this. If not, I think it might be helpful.
Ameen has lot's of pretty detailed tutorials. Haven't watched through this vehicle impact one but I'm sure it will be useful. Good call here. 👍
