Hi @dan-mnation, I always have to check this so forgive me if it's rudimentary, but when you refer to penetrations are you actually talking about p...

Hi @sonlong, Do you know how to create your solid structure? The easiest way would be to create it level with the plane that you want the angle mea...

Hi @nikhillonkar92, You are not alone in getting a little overwhelmed with all these options. A lot of the time, you will find that certain combina...

Hi @nikhillonkar92, So you are on the right path. Mass scaling is determined using *Control_timestep where at the minimum you need to define TSSFAC...

Hi @nikhillonkar92, Are you running simulations from the LS-Dyna manager? Aka from your computer? Try manually defining the allocated memory when y...

Hey @nikhillonkar92, Sorry for the delay. By recover contact penetration, do you mean prevent it from happening during a simulation? Or do you mean...

@manual_surtax I’ve only used Git. Maybe someone else can chime in if they’ve used any free options.

Hi @student111, Did you define a *Database_binary_d3plot? There you can specify the d3plot (visual frame) frequency in the DT, similar to what you ...

Hi @bhattarai, It really depends where you are trying to extract the stress/strain from. You are correct that you can use the fringe component to a...

@csuznxg Ah that would make sense. So the dip in force has been addressed with the elimination of contact friction?

Oh I see, you have actually reduced the distance between particles to 1. I didn’t realize that you were running a convergence study. Yeah that is stra...

@csuznxg I’m going to preface this by addressing that I’m not familiar with this type of testing. What makes you think that there is an issue? Would...

Hi @anuragdogra, Great question! *Constrained_Interpolation allows you to constrain a dependent node to a series of independent nodes, while *Constr...

Also, here was another brief topic on this:

@dan-mnation Very cool project. This seems to be one of the great mysteries of LS-Dyna. I think this type of error may only show up when using SMP, ...
