Week 11 Car Crash simulation

Objective: To perform a parametric study using 3 different values of thickness for the car body

Procedure:

• Drop the explicit dynamics
• Insert the material as per the requirements in Engineering data
• Import the geometry from the library
• Open the mechanical module
• Assign the thickness to the car body
• Tick the empty box in front of thickness for Parametric Results
• Assign the material to the Car body
• Delete all the contacts
• Provide fixed support to the car and
• Provide the displacement to the wall
• Provide the symmetry region for Wall and the car body
• Generate the Mesh as per the requirement

Analysis Settings:

Equivalent Stress :

Total Deformation:

Result:

Conclusion:

• Car body with lowest thick ness of 0.1 has the highest Total Deformation
• Car body with lowest thick ness of 0.1 has the highest Equivalent Stress
