Step 8 – Define the Analysis Settings
8.a Select Analysis Settings in the tree
15 © 2011 ANSYS, Inc. March 9, 2012
Step 9 – Create (Link to) an AUTODYN Project
9.a On the Workbench
Project page, under
Component Systems,
drag and drop the
AUTODYN component
onto the Setup cell for
the Explicit Dynamics D&D
(ANSYS) project.
This creates an AUTODYN
project who’s setup is 9.a+ Temporary Fix:
linked to the Explicit Select Double
Dynamics Project Precision (this will
be the default in the
next release)
9.b Open the AUTODYN RMB
project, importing the
model set up in the
Explicit Dynamics project SC

Step 11 – Change the Ship Mass
11.a Select Materials on the 11.d Change the Reference 11.e Accept
Navigation Bar
density to “0.5” gm/cc the data
11.b Notice that a RIGID material has
been imported for the ship
11.c Select Modify
The mass of the ship is calculated by
summing the mass of all its
elements using the Reference
Density. This had been set to the
density of the default steel
material. Since the ship is not
solid, this significantly over‐
estimates the true mass.
The reference density is decreased
here to give a better estimate of
the true mass of the ship
