AIM To study how to convert a property value from one system of units to another system of units as LS DYNA does not have a default system of units. Also our requirement of units may be different than standard ones. 1 Pa = 1 `N/m^2`        =1 `(kg*m)/(s^2*m^2)`        =`1*(kg*10^3*mm)/((10^3)^2*ms^2*(10^3)^2*mm^2`…

An explicit analysis is used to find the current state of a system (which may be displacement after a force is applied or the angle of twist after a torque is applied) by using available boundary values and the constants that we may have measured for a system. Here the methord is to incrementally solve the system in finite…
