ANSYS AUTODYN-Fragment Impact (Workbench)

Workshop Goal and Procedure

Goal:

Model a multi-material cylindrical fragment impacting a plate

Procedure:Start AUTODYN standalone

Set up the problem in using 2D Axial Symmetry

Solve the problem

View the results

Create animations of the results

Step 1 – Start Workbench

Start ANSYS Workbench and follow the sequenced steps using the

abbreviations shown below:

–DC = Double Click with Left Mouse Button

–SC = Single Click with Left Mouse Button

–RMB = Right Mouse Button Selection

–D&D = Drag and Drop = Hold Left Mouse Button down on item while dragging it to new location and then release it (i.e., Copy or Move)

Throughout these Workshops, the procedures shown are not always the only way to accomplish the desired tasks, so feel free to investigate other methods via the documentation when outside of this course

-The workshops consistently use RMB in the Outline tree to access options

whenever possible

.Often these options can also be accessed through the “Context” Toolbar

.Sometimes these options can also be accessed using RMB in the View area

Step 2 – Activate Beta Options

2. Turn On Beta Options under Tools > Options > Appearance (2D Explicit Dynamics is a Beta Option in V12.0))

Step 3 – Initiate a 2D Explicit Dynamics (ANSYS) Project

3.1 Create an Explicit Dynamics (ANSYS) Project

3.2 RMB Geometry > Properties and set Analysis Type to 2D (beta option)

Step 4 – Specify the Project Units

Note:

Engineering Data is native in Workbench, but DesignModeler and Mechanical are NOT currently (but will be in the future). Therefore,always check that the local units system is as desired.

Step 5 – Define Engineering Data Material
