Assignment 2-RADIOSS Engine File Editing & 3D Meshing Challenge

1. The speed of sound in steel rail= 5188.75 m/s.

2. The length of the rail is about 1000 mm the time takes for a shock wave to travel from one end of the rail to the other 11.5 sec

3. Time for sound to travel length of rail=11.5 sec

Radioss engine file Termination time changed to 80 sec and animation frequency 4.

I observed that internal energy is increasing and kinetic energy is decreasing to zero.
