Ex. 1: Bullet impact
New model
Ident Bullet
Symmetry 3D, Z
Load Materials CART BRASS, FLOATGLASB, LEAD (Shock,
Steinberg Guinan)
Add erosion to all materials (geometric strain = 1.0)
Import parts from dyna: BulletInner.K and BulletOuter.K
Delete components
Create new component containing both parts
Transform component
Rotate 180 degrees about Y-axis
Rotate 150 degrees about Z-axis
Translate 0.36mm in X direction
