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. |
