Simulation of Hail Impact Using the Smoothed Particle

Hydrodynamic Method in Abaqus/Explicit

Abaqus Technology Brief

Summary
Key Abaqus/Explicit Features and Benefits

 Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method to

efficiently model large deformation with frag-
mentation
 Robust general contact to automatically handle
interaction between particles and regular finite
elements
Background  Advanced material models
 Convenient meshing with a method to convert
regular finite elements to particles
