    Workshop 1

    Cylinder Impact
    16.0 Release

    Introduction to
    ANSYS Explicit STR
    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 1
    Workshop Goal and Procedure
    Goal:
    Simulate the impact of cylinder into a plate (typically known as a Taylor Test)
    Procedure:
    Restore an Explicit Dynamics (ANSYS) Analysis System Project
    Select the unit system and assign the material properties
    Mesh the two parts and set the initial velocity condition of the rod
    Define the analysis settings, boundary conditions, and applied loads
    Solve and review the results

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 2


    Step 1 Create the Project Schematic
    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)

    1. Restore the archived project

    Step 2 Verify the Project Units

    2.a Verify MKS as the Project Units from


    the Units List provided

    2.b Verify that Native Applications in


    Workbench have their values be
    Displayed in 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 3 Define Engineering Data Material
    3.a Edit the Engineering Data cell to select pre-
    defined material models from the data sources. DC
    3.b Press the book icon to toggle the view from
    project materials to engineering data sources
    3.c Select the General Non-
    linear Materials data
    source. This data
    source contains material
    models that can be used
    in both ANSYS implicit
    and explicit analyses.
    SC
    Note: The material models
    in the Explicit Materials
    data source are generally
    more complex and can
    only be used in explicit
    dynamic analyses

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 5


    Step 3 Define Engineering Data Material
    3.d Select the + sign to
    the right of the
    Aluminum Alloy NL
    material model to add SC
    it to the Engineering
    Data library.

    3.e Likewise, select the +


    sign to the right of the
    Structural Steel NL
    material. (Note the SC
    symbol of a book that
    appears indicating the
    material has been
    selected).

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 6


    Step 3 Define Engineering Data Material
    3.f Press the book icon again to toggle the view back to project materials. Notice
    that the two materials have been added
    3.g Return to the Project Schematic
    3.h Save the Project
    SC

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 7


    Step 4 Verify the Geometry

    4.a The geometry database is already imported into the project. You can verify the
    geometry in Design Modeler if you have the license.

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 8


    Step 5 Edit the Model in Mechanical
    5.a Edit the model in Workbench Mechanical.

    RMB SC

    5.b Select the MKS Units system


    Recall that Mechanical is not native in Workbench, so the
    Units here may not match the Project Units

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 9


    Step 5 Edit the Model in Mechanical
    5.c Assign the material Aluminum Alloy NL to the Cylinder and the material
    Structural Steel NL to the Plate. To access the materials stored in the
    Engineering Data library, click on the default material currently assigned to the
    part, and a small fly-out arrow will appear. Clicking on that arrow lists the
    materials available for use.

    Step 5 Edit the Model in Mechanical

    5.d Delete the automatically defined


    Contact Region (we do not want the
    cylinder initially bonded to the plate) RMB

    5.e Notice that Penalty-based Trajectory


    contact is the default interaction and the
    type is Frictionless
    SC

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 11


    Step 6 Set Sizing Controls and Mesh Model
    6.a Select the Mesh branch

    6.b Specify the Mesh Details:


    Physics Preference = Explicit
    Element Size = 0.003 m

    6.c Generate the mesh

    RMB

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 12


    Step 7 Define the Initial Conditions
    7.a Apply an Initial Velocity Condition to the Cylinder as shown.

    Note:
    If the Body
    SC selection filter
    is not
    RMB automatically
    activated for
    the initial
    velocity
    condition,
    select it
    manually.

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 13


    Step 7 Define the Initial Conditions

    7.b Choose to define the


    Initial Velocity by
    Components:
    X = 0 m/sec
    Y = 0 m/sec
    Z = -300 m/sec

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 14


    Step 8 Define the Analysis Settings
    SC 8.a Select Analysis Settings in the tree and set the
    End Time to be 7.0e-5 s in the Details View.

    8.b Keep the remaining default settings.

    8.c Twenty equally-spaced results sets should be


    sufficient for the animations.

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 15


    Step 9 Apply Boundary Conditions
    9.a Pick the Face selection filter.
    RMB
    9.b Insert a Fixed Support
    on the back face of the
    Plate. Rotate the
    geometry, as needed.

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 16


    Step 10 Insert Result Items to Review Later
    10.a Insert a Directional
    RMB Deformation plot request
    under the Solution branch
    and set the Orientation to
    the Z Axis in the Details
    View.

    RMB
    10.b Insert an Equivalent
    Plastic Strain plot request
    under the Solution branch.

    10.c Save the Project


    (on the Project Page)

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 17


    Step 11 Run the AUTODYN Simulation
    11.a Select Solver Output under Solution
    Information and RMB Solve to start the
    simulation.
    11.b You will see that the
    model is submitted to
    the AUTODYN solver
    which performs the
    solve

    RMB

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 18


    Step 11 Run the AUTODYN Simulation

    11.c The Solver Output shows the run statistics. This problem will only take a few
    minutes to solve and should terminate with the message wrapup time
    reached (end cycle may be different depending on the version used).
    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 19
    Step 12 Review the Results
    12.a Select Energy Summary under Solution Information. Note how the Kinetic
    Energy of the projectile is converted into Internal Energy during impact. Also,
    the Hourglass Energy is sufficiently small (about 10% of the Internal Energy).

    Internal Energy
    Kinetic Energy
    Hourglass Energy

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 20


    Step 12 Review the Results
    12.b Select Directional Deformation (Z Axis) and Show the Elements at True
    Scale

    SC

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 21


    Step 12 Review the Results
    12.c Likewise, select Equivalent Plastic Strain

    12.d Animate the results by setting the controls as shown


    below and then pressing the Animation button. For
    transient dynamics, the Result Sets mode is usually best

    Plastic
    strain is
    constant
    Pick these 2 first after rod
    rebounds
    Then pick this from plate

    2015 ANSYS, Inc. April 15, 2015 22


    Step 12 Review the Results
    12.e If desired, hide the Plate to get a better view of the remaining body. Re-
    orient the animation as needed.

    RMB

    12.f Finally, Save the model and


    then Exit Workbench
