You can download the LS-DYNA manuals from the LSTC website, if you haven't
already. You can also download the pre and post processor LS-PRE/POST for
free, which will get you access to more features. It doesn't have great
documentation, but it sure is fast once you figure out what series of
buttons to click on.

You can still execute the modified K file with the ANSYS launcher or create
a batch file to do it (.bat on Windows).
