Assignment 4-RADIOSS Material Laws Challenge

Aim :-

Run crash analysis for the given model in different cases as follows;

  1. Law 2 Base Simulation.
  2. Law 2 with Ifail_sh = 1, Dadv = 1, Ixfem = 1.
  3. Law 2 without failure card.
  4. Law 2 without EPS_p_max value.
  5. Law 1 without faliure card & density, Poission's retio & Young's Modulus assigned.
  6. Law 27 with given shell properties.
  7. Law 36 with given shell properties & reference curve.

Procedure :-

Case 1 :-

1. Import the given Failure_Johnson_0000.rad file into Hypermesh by solver deck option.

Fig 1 :- Import the 0000.rad File

2. Check for units in the begin card (g mm ms). Check for Material, Property & Faliure Cards for default values.

Case 2 :-

1. Follow the initial process similar to Case 1, update the failure card (Ifail_sh = 1, Dadv = 1 & Ixfem = 1 ).
