Hi, I´m learning Ansys-Lsdyna to make dynamics simulations and I don´t know how to enter the velocity of a rigid body.
I have made a very simple model in which a sphere impacts a plane, but the sphere always goes in the opposite direction that I want, I have change the sign of the velocity but the result is the same result.
Thanks in advance
Sorry about my english
 
My experience is with llnl-dyna, so my comments may be incorrect... Based on the description of your problem I'll assume that you're assigning an initial velocity, not a prescribed velocity. In llnl initial velocities are assigned to nodes so it's necessary to assign them to every node in the rigid body. If you can be more specific about your problem, I might be able to help more...
