The functions provided in this menu include LS-DYNA Input Deck and Job
Submitter.
LS-DYNA INPUT DECK - This function enables the user to
output LS-DYNA input deck to the directory for the current database or other
directory.
JOB SUBMITTER - This function allows the user to
submit and run the stamping simulation model. Click this menu to display the
Job options dialog box, in which the user can specify the output path for
LS-DYNA deck, select solver, allocate memory and specify job ID. The Job
options dialog box is illustrated in Figure 8.3.9.
Solver - Specify solver for different
stages. There are three kinds of solvers: LS-DYNA single precision solver, LS-DYNA
double precision solver and Utility Batch. Utility Batch is only used for
trimming stage. By default, LS-DYNA double precision solver is adopted for
gravity and springback analysis.
Memory (MB) - Set memory size for different
stages. The user should consider the physical memory size when allocating
memory.
First stage to run - The user is allowed to start to
submit analysis from any stage. In multiple stage analysis, the user should
start when the previous stage finishes calculation and obtains a correct
result.
Specify job ID - In single stage analysis, the user
is allowed to specify a default job ID, or not to specify job ID, which means
there is no prefix for result file. However, in multiple stage analysis, the
program will automatically specify a job ID.
OK - Accept the modification and
submit job.
Cancel - Cancel the job submission
and exit the Job options dialog box.

Once the user finishes the setup of job options, the Jobs Submitter
dialog box illustrated in Figure 8.3.10 appears. If there is no job in the job list,
LS-DYNA will be run after the defined pause between jobs.

For multiple stage analysis, the user can double click the list in the
job submitter to open the setup options for multiple stages. For the jobs which
are not submitted for calculation, the user can set the solver precision and
memory size for each stage. The Multiple Stages dialog box is illustrated in Figure 8.3.11.
