MATERIAL SPECIMEN GENERATOR FOR DART IMAPCT

Generates a ready-to-run LS-DYNA dart-impact specimen deck conforming to either ASTM D3763 or ISO 6603 standards. It meshes a circular plate specimen at the requested element size, embeds the user-supplied material card, and emits a complete keyword file for downstream solver submission.

When to use

Classification: data.

Tagged: astm_d3763, circular_plate, dart_impact, iso6603, keyword_deck, ls-dyna, mat_elastic, mesh_size.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Specimen Mesh Size mesh_size scalar 2   Target element edge length for the specimen mesh in millimetres (default 2 mm); smaller values increase mesh density and solver runtime.
Material Data material_data text *MAT_ELASTIC 1,7.89e-9,210   Raw LS-DYNA material keyword block (e.g. *MAT_ELASTIC with density, Young’s modulus) pasted as plain text; defaults to a generic steel elastic card if left unchanged.
Additional Keywords additionalkeywords text   Any supplementary LS-DYNA keywords (contacts, boundary conditions, output controls, etc.) to be appended verbatim to the generated deck; leave blank if no extras are needed.
Standard Type standard scalar astm_3763   Test standard that governs specimen geometry and loading conditions; choose ‘astm’ for ASTM D3763 or ‘iso6603’ for ISO 6603-2 (default: astm_d3763).

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
dart_model dart_model textarea Complete LS-DYNA keyword deck (plain text) for the dart-impact specimen, including mesh, material, boundary conditions, and any appended keywords, ready for solver submission.
