On the Setup and Simulation of Large Scale LEGO Models Build with LS-DYNA and LoCo

Playing with LEGO® bricks is something many engineers might have enjoyed during their childhood. Building any kind of mechanical construction allows creativity and complexity to an extent which probably contributed to their fascination and finally to their decision of becoming engineers. It’s interesting to see how many of them are still fascinated by LEGO® even in their adult life. Especially for children, or for those with an active inner child, crashing these models into each other is even more fun, because seeing all those bricks fly all over the place is just fascinating, beyond any scientific or professional aspect.
