The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) is seeking a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) quote on a Sole Source basis from Livermore Software Technology Corporation of Livermore, CA since Livermore Software Technology Corporation is the manufacturer and the only vendor which supplies the required LS-DYNA proprietary software for analysis of advanced non-linear finite element models. LS-DYNA is a general-purpose, flexible, finite element analysis software for multi-physics simulation. LS-DYNA's features can be combined to model a wide range of physical events. LS-DYNA accurately predicts the stresses and deformations experienced by metal, and determine failures. LS-DYNA supports adaptive and will refine the mesh during the analysis, as necessary, to increase accuracy and save time. LS-DYNA is also capable of simulating projectile penetration, blast response, and explosives. LS-DYNA's military applications include: Penetration (projectile and armor), Explosives, Weapon design, underwater simulations (using USA coupling). This software is compatible with NUWCDIVNPT equipment and contains unique features and optimizations for specific platforms.
