Application of Pre-load force on a dynamic explicit step - Drop Test

Application of Pre-load force on a dynamic explicit step - Drop Test

Application of Pre-load force on a dynamic explicit step - Drop Test

(OP)
Hi guys,

I am performing a dynamic explicit analysis of a drop impact event on a beam specimen.

Is there any way that I can apply a pre-load force on the frame before the object drops on the beam?

Regards and thank you.

RE: Application of Pre-load force on a dynamic explicit step - Drop Test

If possible you could do it in an first step, before you do the impact step.

Otherwise you could do the preload analysis in A/Standard and use *Import to transfer the result to Explicit.
