Bullet not Penetrating Through Metal Plate Problem
Bullet not Penetrating Through Metal Plate Problem
(OP)
Hi Everyone. I am facing a strange problem. Bullet material is Steel and the Metal Plate is AL-7017. I have turned on the "STATUS" from Field Output and also written that INTERIOR thingy with the respective sets before *END ASSEMBLY. The problem is that the job starts, for a few millimeters the materials removes as the bullet penetrates into the Plate, but stops penetrating as it further proceeds. If one removes Bullet from the display group or when the bullet reaches other side of the plate, one could clearly see that the material has not been removed. I'd be grateful if someone could help me out in sorting the problem and a possible solution to fix the issue.

Do you have a picture of it? Could it be that you haven't defined general contact with the internal element surfaces (see attached)?
