Event simulation using ceramic/brittle materials

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am trying to simulate a high velocity impact on a silicon carbide tile. After reading the "Define nonlinear materials" section, I found out that the Drucker-Prager yield criterion would be an more appropriate selection for this type of material (as opposed to von Mises or Tresca), however fusion gives me this warning:

"Warning: Some components are using material properties unsupported by this study type. Please note Yield Criteria will be run as "von Mises" for this solve."

So far I have tried a few things, but there is always the concern of not having the "correct" behavior for the ceramic tiles.

Thank you in advance,

Manuel

Hi @Anonymous - 

The Drucker-Prager yield criterion is only supported in the Nonlinear Static analysis type at this time.

Hi Mike,

I am too working with silicon carbide ceramics and would like to run event simulations. Concerning ceramics and hard metals, do you have any templates for this materials with all the properties required for a successful and realistic event simulation?

Best regards,

Ralf
