The LS-DYNA® Aerospace Working Group (AWG) is a partnership of federal agencies, corporations, and universities working together to develop and publish aerospace test cases and modeling guidelines for finite element analyses with LS-DYNA®. The actions of the AWG serve to support the use, development, and reliability of LS-DYNA® for aerospace numerical analyses.
Some participants are partially or fully funded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the National Aviation Research Plan 'Aircraft Catastrophic Failure Prevention Research' program, or by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), or associated with the participants as LS-DYNA® users.
