Lsdyna To Radioss Block Data Conversion

This document provides information on converting an LSDYNA file to a RADIOSS Block data format file using HyperMesh. It outlines the conversion process and notes that some LSDYNA keywords and attributes are directly mapped to equivalent RADIOSS types, while others are only partially or not converted. A table shows examples of how various LSDYNA elements, loads, materials, properties, curves and other components are mapped to RADIOSS equivalents during the conversion.

LSDYNA to RADIOSS (BLOCK Data Format) Conversion

HyperMesh LSDYNA Interface

You can use the Conversion tool to convert an LSDYNA file to a RADIOSS (Block data format)
file.
1. Load the LSDYNA user profile.
2. Import a LSDYNA model into Hypermesh.
3. Run the conversion macro by clicking the Tools drop down menu, then selecting Convert
and selecting LSDYNA and To RADIOSS (Block data format).
After conversion, the RADIOSS Block user profile is automatically loaded.
4. Review and export the deck in RADIOSS Block user profile.

Some of the keywords in LSDYNA deck is converted to RADIOSS deck as per the following table

The attributes that would be converted in each KEYWORD is explained in the


conversion GUI (attached Figure). Each keyword is associated with color to distinguish
better.
GREEN – All the attributes of the KEYWORD are converted to equivalent in RADIOSS
ORANGE – Only some the attributes of the KEYWORD are converted to equivalent in
RADIOSS
RED – None the attributes of the KEYWORD are converted to equivalent in RADIOSS.
Basically conversion of this keyword is not supported by the conversion tool
