SimLab Drop Test and Impact Analysis

Course Outline:

In this course, users learn to model and simulate Impact Analysis and Drop Tests with Altair SimLab and with its integrated solver for explicit finite element simulation, Altair Radioss.

Prerequisites:

General knowledge about SimLab. Ideally attended the SimLab Introduction Course.

Goals and Objectives:

• Aspects of typical impact problems include:
• Quick/automated modeling of assemblies for Drop Test
• Creation of a Mesh suitable for explicit analysis, including assembly and defeaturing
• Quick and detailed setup of Drop Test and Impact Tests
• Basic Material Laws and Contact Types
• Rigid walls, rigid bodies, kinematic conditions, contacts
• Defining the solution parameters, running and evaluating the solution
