Dynamic non linear impact analysis ABAQUS or LS DYNA

[vadudenver]

Hi,

Could someone help me with the steps for doing non linear dynamic impact analysis for user defined materials in Abaqus or LS dyna. I would really appreciate it if you guys could help, since my professor asked me to this for a capstone project that I am doing.

Thank You and sorry for any inconvenience

Are you familiar with the finite element method? Have you performed linear and, more importantly in this context, non-linear analyses? If the answer is "No" to either of those questions, you should know that it is going to take a while to get the job done (unless you are one of those who guys who has coded his own element or solver or something!)

Hi
I don't want to be negative but this sounds like a student posting. If so, it may be a good idea to start with the forum rules regarding those.

Best Regards

Thomas
