Use the Conversion tool to convert a LS-DYNA file to a RADIOSS file.

1.Load the LS-DYNA user profile.
2.Import an LS-DYNA model.
3.To run the conversion macro, from the menu bar, Tools > Convert > LsDyna > To RADIOSS. The Conversion tab opens.
4.Click Convert. After the conversion, the RADIOSS user profile automatically loads.
5.Review and export the deck in the RADIOSS user profile. Some of the keywords in the LS-DYNA deck are converted to the RADIOSS deck as per the following tables.

The attributes converted in each KEYWORD is explained in the Conversion dialog (see below). Each keyword is associated with a color to distinguish it better.

GREEN – All the attributes of the KEYWORD are converted to equivalent in RADIOSS.
ORANGE – Only some the attributes of the KEYWORD are converted to equivalent in RADIOSS.
RED – None the attributes of the KEYWORD are converted to equivalent in RADIOSS. Conversion of this keyword is not supported by the conversion tool.
