14.f Accept the data

Step 15 – Review the Setup so far Training Manual
15.a Visually check that

materials have been assigned
correctly to the fragment
15.b Visually check that all

nodes of the fragment have
been assigned the initial
velocity
15.c Visually check that the

mesh for the plate has been
graded correctly
The 1st 10 radial elements
should match the element
size of the fragment exactly
The remaining elements

should increase smoothly in
size out to the radius of the
plate

Step 16 – Set up Interaction between Fragment and Plate Training Manual
16.a Select Interaction on the Navigation bar

16.b External Gap is the only option available for
structured (I,J) Parts
16.c Calculate the Gap size (AUTODYN calculates

the recommended Gap size and displays it)
16.d Check the Gap size is valid and that all Parts
are initially separated by the Gap size (say yes
to all the prompts)
An error message tells you that the
Fragment and Plate are not separated by
the Gap size (they are touching)

Step 17 – Separate the Fragment and Plate by the Gap size Training Manual
17.e Enter “0.1” for the

X translation
17.a Select Parts
on the Navigation 17.f Accept the input
Bar (Plate is translated
away from the
17.b Select the Fragment by the Gap
plate Part size)
17.c Select Zoning 17.g Return to the
Interactions menu
17.d Select
and run the Check
Translate (under
again
Transformations)
A message tells you
that the interaction
has been set up
successfully

18.a Select Boundaries on the

Navigation Bar
18.b Select New to define a new

boundary condition
18.c Enter the Boundary Name “Clamp”
18.d Select Velocity for the Type and

General 2D Velocity for the Sub option
18.e Enter “0.0” for the X and Y velocity

components
18.f Accept the data

Step 19 – Apply the Boundary Condition to Clamp Plate Training Manual
19.a Select Parts on the 19.h Make sure the

Navigation Bar boundary condition has
been applied correctly
19.b Select the plate by checking Boundaries
Part under Additional
Components in the
19.c Select Boundary Plots dialog panel
19.d Select J Line
19.e Enter I = 1-31 for

the I-range and J = 61
(the top boundary)
19.f Select the “Clamp”

Boundary
19.g Accept the data

Step 20 – Set Solution and Output Controls Training Manual
20.a Select Controls on

the Navigation Bar
20.b Enter a large

number for the cycle
limit and “0.07” for the
Time Limit
20.c Select Output on

the Navigation Bar
20.d Request Save files

to be written every
“0.002” ms

Step 21 – Load a Plot Settings File (3D View) Training Manual
21.a Load the plot

settings file
“fragment_impact.set”
21.b Notice that the

loaded plot settings
provide a 3D view
where the model is
rotated through 270
deg.
21.c Extra credits: Try

creating this view
yourself without
loading the settings
file

Step 22 – Solve the Problem Training Manual
22.a Save your During the solve, the view is

Data automatically updated to show the most
current solution
22.b Solve the A summary of the current computation
problem cycle (Cycle #, Time, Timestep) is
shown below the view panel,
Press Stop
at any time
to interrupt
the Solve

Step 23 – View Results from the Save Files Training Manual
23.a When
calculation
terminates
message gives
reason for
termination
23.b Pull-down
menu allows
quick access to
all the Save files
Try loading
and viewing
different Save
files

Step 24 – Create a GIF Slide Show of Results Training Manual
24.a Select Plots on the

Navigation Bar
24.b Select Generate multiple

slides
24.c Select all the available

cycles (i.e. Save files)
24.d Select Start and a GIF

animation will be generated
(move the window away
from the view before doing
this if you want to see each
slide of the animation being
generated clearly)
24.e Close the window when

the animation is complete

Step 25 – Create a GFA Slide Show of Results Training Manual
25.a Select Setup Slideshow
25.b Change the Image type

from gif (default) to gfa
25.c Accept the data
25.d Perform Step 24 again to

produce the GFA animation
(message is given when GFA
animation is complete)

Step 26 – View the GIF Animation Training Manual
26.a Select View Slides on

the Navigation Bar to start
the ANSYS Viewer
26.b Open the GIF

animation (select the file
“fragment_impact.gif”)
26.c View the animation

Step 27 – View the GFA Animation Training Manual
27.a Open the GIF animation

(select the file
“fragment_impact_00nn.gfa”)
27.c View the animation
27.c Change the animation view
