Problem with Contact analysis - Simulating a Crushable Foam Block hitting a Wall
I have got the model to run using Abaqus/Explicit, general contact. For the interaction property I have Tangential Behaviour with a Friction coeff of 0.3, and normal behaviour of a hard contact. Ideally I want to have truss elements behind the block to determine the stress in them as the car...- CPHE

Simplified impact simulation - Help Needed - Using a load rather than interaction - Help Needed
The problem is to test the impact of the attentuator, the front end of an F1 car, when it hits a wall. After trying to complete this computationally as a contact analysis with constriants and interaction properties I was pulling my hair out. I got the idea seeing as it is a very simple problem...- CPHE

Need help solving coupling temperature and displacement analysis
I have three parts to model but once I determine the correct method I will be fine with the other two. The design is a simple C-Ring which I have used only half of it as its symmetric. It is in mm and I think I should put it in m just for ease. I have all the material data I could possibly get...- CPHE
