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.

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