New LS-DYNA modeler requirements
• Need for plastic strain extrapolation • Testing is usually in tensile (uniaxial) mode • Failure often occurs in other triaxiality states (biaxial, shear, combo) • Failure strains can be higher in these states
• Self-consistency checks on material parameters • Modulus change affects plasticity data • Fail strain is less than largest extrapolated plastic strain • Stress ratio modeling affects rate dependency
• Self-consistent unit systems (LS-DYNA unit systems) • Must be applied correctly across the entire parameter set
• Support for user’s material parameter conversion tools • User’s Excel macros or Python conversion scripts

Basis & features
• Unified data model • Contains representation of the entire material model • Material parameters are linked to material properties • On the fly unit conversions
• GUI • Model is displayed in the context of material data
• eg. Model is displayed over rate-dependent tensile data • Drag & drop capability to move and extrapolate model lines • Changing a model parameter instantly recalculates other affected
parameters • Custom
• Export of all required properties to Excel for user post-processing
