Drop Test

Solutions > DOE > Drop Test

The Drop Test solution is used to setup multiple trial runs of drop test, with different combination of drop orientation and height of drop.

Results

Description

  1. Setup the Drop test solution to perform the Drop test. Also Responses can be created if needed to track the results.
  2. Define the Drop test Solution.
  3. Define required Design Variables.
  4. Define the trials for the design variables using DOE Table dialog.
  5. The Result > Update option is used to run the DOE.
  6. The Result > Display option can be used to track the results in real time, while the DOE is running.
  7. The Response in the Drop test solution will be updated for each DOE trial and the corresponding response values will be displayed in the Result dialog.
Note:
  • For Abaqus and Radioss while exporting the first run of DOE, all nodes and elements card details and other few cards like material and properties are exported in separate include files and included in the main file. While running the rest of the DOE runs, the nodes, element ,material and properties are reused by using the included files of the first run.
  • This enhancement helps in reducing the file size and performance.
