Dear All,

I want to use closed cell foam model in Ansys-LS Dyna. I don't know about the physical meaning and values of a, b, c constants and also value for the initial foam pressure. Any help in finding this data will be highly appreciated.

Regards

Khan

What is the LS-DYNA name/number for that material model?
Did you read the LS-DYNA documentation?
What material are you studying?
