Most applications of LS-DYNA are for complex, and often combined, physics where nonlinearities due to large deformations and material response, including failure, are the norm. Often the goal of such simulations are to provide predictions which will ultimately be used to guide product development and safety assessments.

This class focuses on two critical aspects: modeling and simulation. Here modeling is taken to mean the large number of decisions the analyst makes in constructing a model to mimic the response of some physical event. Simulation refers to the results produced to a given analyst's input. The emphasis for simulation is how to assess the credibility, i.e. correctness and accuracy, of predictive simulation results.
