Hello all,
I am trying to set up two different impact analyses as follows:
1. Nonlinear transient response
I am dropping a wooden ball on to a steel floor with wooden reinforcement. I know the impact velocity, drop height etc and it works when the mesh is quite coarse. However, as soon as I go to a fine mesh, my analysis starts bisecting, and fails. Why is this happening?
2. Simple Impact analysis
I have a block of brick falling on an aluminium floor, travelling along a trajectory (sketch that connects the 'brick' to the 'floor') from a pre-defined height and 0 initial velocity and 9810mm/s^2 acceleration, but it's not behaving like the Autodesk video shows. As far as I remember it should in the first instance drop the brick to the floor and then do the computation for post impact. But that's not what's happening. What am I doing differently compared to the videos?
Happy to share my files if need be.
Any help anyone can offer me to solve these problems will be appreciated.
Regards,
Raam
