Hi all,

     Can anyone give a description on the diffrence of ALE in ABAQUS and LSDYNA? And also the difference between r-adaptivity and ALE in ABAQUS. It seems ALE in ABAQUS means the same with r-adaptivity in LSDYNA while “ALE” means diffrently in the two codes.

      Thanks a lot!

Dear Xiao,

   Glad to see your post. I come to find the ALE in abaqus is different from that in Ls-dyna.

   Did you get any progress in the acknownlege of the difference?

 

Regards,

Jason

Hi,

As far as I know, ALE in Abaqus can't solved the multi material problem. I mean in each step only one ALE domain (with one material) can be used. But multi-material ALE is implemented in LS-DYNA.
