@ironam I do not have a ready answer. However, I have a comment that might be food for thought: How many inputs do you have going into the model? Wh...

@ironam Could you provide some context?

It will be more efficient to work with someone to do this for you.

@mahmoud Explicit usually takes longer (in terms of wall clock time) unless you are solving an extremely nonlinear problem (car crash is an obvious ex...

@ana Can you try switching master/slave entities in the contact card and, assuming contact still works, see what you get? Not a great suggestion, I ...

@kingoz79 Do you have any unreferenced nodes? Those have popped up for me if I deleted elements and forgot removing nodes associated with those dele...

@kingoz79 Without knowing more, it is difficult to give a general recommendation. That being said, I would argue it is preferable to have equivalenc...

@kingoz79 You are not going to find exactly what you want. The geometry you spoke of is very simple to make so you definitely need to think and lear...

@kingoz79 Are you talking about geometry creation? Geometry creation/editing has nothing to do with FE modeling or LS-DYNA. You can use LS-PrePost...

@ana Glad to know. You can reduce damping in a few ways - as long as you understand the reasoning. Is global damping of up to 15% appropriate? I c...

@ana It is better to think more generally than a particular code (LS-DYNA, in this case). "Oscillations" are inherent to explicit analyses because t...

@gdmarinv Hard to say but it is possible that the graphics card is incompatible with the version of LS-PrePost. Try installing a few versions and se...

R13 is out. Give that a try 🙂

@sheida There is a projectile example available on the internet (dynaexamples.com perhaps?). I don't remember but I bet there are YouTube videos of ...

All I meant to suggest you want to double-check your belief that the models are exactly the same. I know I have held that belief many times in the pas...
