Hi @arazou, Not sure what you mean by "the explosion happens but the explosion does not happen in the explosive material"

Hi @rybask1, I want to help you out however I can but I know nothing about thermal expansion simulation. Fundamentally, what do you think is the...

You can also try running in double precision if your are using LS-Dyna

Hi @marso1, There are quite a few things at play with oscillations like this. Explicit vs Implicit, the type of element you are using, the element ...

Hi @rybask1, Sorry for the late response. I'm honestly shocked that you were able to import any sort of LS-Dyna model into Ansys since they are two...

Hi @paulvazz, Sorry for the late reply. Have you checked the d3hsp file? Also, this sounds like something that could be tinkered with in the *Contr...

@paulvazz, what @sbrrr said should work. The MID box will be the material ID (MID) that you want to add this set of erosion to. Hope it worked out ...

@syed2468 how different are your results? And are your sure that you are taking the strain data from the same point on the bars that they did? Also, m...

Hi @jagabu85, can you provide more details on how your contact is currently set up? How is the powder modeled and how is the die modeled? Include th...

@chickenandchips very cool integration with notepad++. Sorry about the .xml…the platform I use for this forum automatically blocks certain file extens...

@marso1 That works too! Glad you got it worked out!

Hi @marso1, Try following the instructions in this post which utilizes the 3D meshing tab. Use the circular end to mesh a 2D quad mesh and refine i...

@sarvin did you use strain as the threshold or something else? And a way to check that it’s working would be to plot the fringe of that threshold (ie....

@sarvin do you have any information on failure strain of the PMMA? Because you can add *Mat_add_erosion to that part and elements will delete when the...

@sarvin great to hear! Regarding the damage on the plate, is that part of the PMMA or the testing apparatus?
