SUMMARY
The discussion centers on an issue encountered in ANSYS LS-DYNA where all deformations and plastic strains are reported as zero after solving a model despite applying high forces. Key factors contributing to this problem include meshing quality, element types, material models, and the application of consistent units. Users are advised to verify the fixed points and the method of load application, particularly in impact scenarios, to resolve the issue effectively.
