This screenshot of an LS-DYNA simulation displays the deformation and stress on a 3D model of a blue goose during Mode 37. The color coding represents displacement magnitude, with red indicating high displacement (likely around 7,000) and purple indicating low displacement (likely around 0.5).

The video shows the goose deforming and rotating when struck by an external force at its neck. The deformation is likely due to a combination of elastic buckling and plastic deformation. The stress distribution is represented by the color gradient in each element, with red indicating high stress and purple indicating low stress.

Conclusion: This simulation demonstrates how LS-DYNA can be used to model complex deformations and stress distributions in materials, which could be useful for a variety of applications such as designing new materials or optimizing existing ones.
