Good question. Part sets are most useful for large contacts, single_surface or surface to surface, and *Contact_interior. Contact interior is somethin...
@erick With the exception of the force transducer, I believe this was all covered here: The force transducer is used to isolate the contact force bet...
Hi @erick SECFORC can only be applied to solids. The easiest method to get for from shells would be either RCFORC or Contact_force_transducer. The for...
@adityasreekumar So what are you trying to study with the simulation? The boat or the water or both? So is this a study of fluid dynamics, mechanics, ...
@sandon101 You may have seen this already, but these examples may help fine-tune your simulation to remove the noise: What results are noisy and what...
@ghillo Thanks for this, that's an interesting find for sure. I'll try this out to see how it works as well. @jhaley this may be useful for you as we...
I’m not quite sure what you are asking here. By values are you talking about nodal coordinates or are you asking about element quality?
@jhaley Ah, I see that makes sense then. Well I’m glad you were able to get the data out another way then!
@jhaley Have you heard anything back from LSTC regarding your email? I'm curious as others are likely to have similar issues with obtaining strain thr...
@sandon101 Unfortunately, I am not nearly as familiar with the implicit side of LS-Dyna as I am with the explicit. Those errors are strange and seem ...
@jhaley I was able to do it by opening the d3plot by either dragging the d3plot into PrePost or Open -> binary file. Then Open -> keyword and i...
@jhaley From what I can see, it looks like you have covered a lot of the steps correctly. It probably wouldn’t hurt to have all outputs like ELOUT wri...
@jhaley Ah I just went back to your previous post on how you were opening it and that’s not the way I do it. Don’t open it through the File toolbar. ...
@jhaley I was able to load the binout0000 and got plotted the rwforc. Attached an image of the force. Maybe you were trying to open one of the other t...
