A Brief History
LS-DYNA serves as Livermore Software‘s flagship finite element analysis tool, catering to diverse sectors ranging from aerospace and bioengineering to manufacturing. The software is designed to harness the power of multiple CPUs and GPUs, with licensing structured based on the number of cores utilized and the simultaneous execution of computational tasks. It offers both node-locked and networked licensing options, with a unique focus on monitoring the number of cores in use rather than the count of concurrent users.
Livermore Software Technologies Corporation (LSTC)
Livermore Software Technologies Corporation (LSTC), founded in 1987, is the driving force behind the development and commercialization of the renowned LS-DYNA software. Initially established to commercialize the DYNA3D software as LS-DYNA, LSTC has expanded its offerings to include complementary tools such as LS-OPT and THUMS™ (Total Human Model for Safety), the latter developed in collaboration with Toyota. LSTC’s software solutions cater to a wide array of industries and applications, providing advanced solver software tailored to meet the intricate demands of modern simulation and analysis.
