DM.inspect: customizable quality control of LS-DYNA input files

LS-DYNA models for industrial applications are often composed from several smaller sub-models. For example, in the automotive industry the different components of a car are usually modelled separately. These “include files” may be built-up in different departments of the same company or even developed by external suppliers. Due to the huge variety of features and functionalities in LS-DYNA, it is a good idea to set up general rules for the sub-models to achieve robust and efficient simulation models for production. Also, the successful assembly of models can be assured by defining generalized modeling guidelines, especially for the interaction of the different include files.
