Also you can use tied contact using segment created from the element face.

your boundary conditions might not be correct . Also check on the contact card parameters USE *BOUNDARY_PRESCRIBED_MOTION .

@mr_lazlo : there are two methods to impart prestress in lsdyna : 1. Control dynamic relaxtion 2. Interface springback to get dynain. It depen...

hi , just by changing the units , there should be no change in the contact behaviour. check for Master and Slave definition. Also try to use MOR...

hi LuBo, An equation of state (EOS) is equivalent a fluid model. Specifically, an EOS is a fluid model that takes a molar composition (z) and predic...

include * CONTROL_SPH card . . . ( here NMNEIGH should be varied accordingly ) Also your Lsdyna Version matters.

also check out this link which is similar to your work for additional details :

impact between a projectile and a plate is highly non-linear problem and requires a great care to achieve convergence . instead of using 2D axisymmetr...

use *CONTACT_INTERIOR or USE Single surface contact as well

Eroding contact should work fine , check the parameters in the contact card.
