LS-DYNA contains analysis tools for a wide range of physics. Their coupling within one solver is their strength, but handling them is not always easy. This is where the integration into the Workbench environment helps.   ## **Electrical-thermal-mechanical analyses** In the current version, electromagnetic properties can now also be defined via the GUI. This makes it easy to solve coupled electrical-thermal-mechanical analyses, i.e. from Joule heating to the failure of model parts due to overload.   ## **Material data and 2D simulation tools** Other highlights include material data and 2D simulation tools for explosion analyses as well as a thematically split input file, which will please simulation experts in particular.  ![PUB_Interview_2024R2_LSDYNA_US_Content](https://blog.cadfem.net/hs-fs/hubfs/TOPICS/GLOBAL_Blog/Release_2024_R2/PUB_Interview_2024R2_LSDYNA_US_Content.jpg?width=797&height=449&name=PUB_Interview_2024R2_LSDYNA_US_Content.jpg) © CADFEM     **[Contact](https://www.cadfem.net/en/about-us/cadfem-contacts/contact-us.html)** us or take a look at our [**CADFEM webinars**](https://www.cadfem.net/en/cadfem-informs/newsroom/ansys-release.html#c245572) on the new release for further advice and answers to your questions.
