LS-PrePost specializes in importing, editing, and exporting LS-DYNA models, based on keyword input fi les. Version 3.0 features a redesigned graphical user interface that maximizes the graphics area by intuitively grouping program functions into icon-based toolbars.

LS-PrePost supports the latest OpenGL standards to provide fast rendering for fringe plots and animation results. The software is under constant development to keep pace with enhancements to LS-DYNA and, since no license file is required, LS-PrePost can be easily installed on any machine running Windows or Linux.
