Drop Test
Check Solution link to learn about features of Solutions. Use SimLab - Learning center videos for more tutorials on Model setup using Solution approach.
Drop test solution provides the following options to set up the model quickly.
- Create tie contacts between bodies - It will automatically create contact between all bodies in the solution.
- Quick setup - Drop impact test parameters - It will create boundary
conditions automatically based on user inputs and the user can modify them
if needed.
- Initial velocity will be created based on height, drop direction, gravity, pitch angle, and roll angle.
- Rigid wall will be created based on drop direction.
- Output requests and settings will be created based on the drop impact time period.
If the drop direction is negative Z direction, then the drop direction can be defined based on pitch and roll angle. User can parameterize pitch and roll angle to set up DOE.
List of Solvers support for Drop Test:
- Abaqus
- OptiStruct
- Radioss
- LS-Dyna
Abaqus - Drop Test:
Added an option “Organize data as include files” to split and export the deck as multiple include files.
All those include files will be linked to main *.inp file.
Check Drop test link for more details.
