Workshop 6. Bird Strike
Workshop Goal and Procedure

Goal:
Model a bird strike on an aircraft wing
Training Manual
Procedure:
Set up the problem in Explicit Dynamics (ANSYS) Transfer the setup to AUTODYN Convert the Bird Part to use SPH nodes Run the analysis in AUTODYN
WS 6-2
Step 1 Start Workbench

Start ANSYS Workbench and follow the sequenced steps using the abbreviations shown below:
DC SC = Double Click with Left Mouse Button = Single Click with Left Mouse Button
Training Manual
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)
Throughout these Workshops, the procedures shown are not always the only way to accomplish the desired tasks, so feel free to investigate other methods via the documentation when outside of this course
The workshops consistently use RMB in the Outline tree to access options whenever possible
Often these options can also be accessed through the Context Toolbar Sometimes these options can also be accessed using RMB in the View area

Step 2 Initiate an Explicit Dynamics (ANSYS) Project 2.a Create an Explicit Dynamics (ANSYS) Project SC
Training Manual
DC
2.b Select MKS for the Project Units and request Native Applications in Workbench have their values Displayed in the Project Units
WS 6-4
Step 3 Define Engineering Data Material DC
Training Manual
3.a Edit the Engineering Data cell to select pre-defined material models from one of the pre-defined material libraries 3.b Select the Explicit Materials library. Materials in this library have physical property data defined for explicit analyses
SC
WS 6-5
Step 3 Define Engineering Data Material ...

3.c Select the + sign to the right of AL5083H116 to add it to the Engineering Data library.
Training Manual
3.d Likewise, select the + sign to the right of WATER2. Note the symbol of a book that appears indicating success
SC
WS 6-6
Step 3 Define Engineering Data Material ...

3.e Go to the Engineering Data cell and note the added materials 3.f Return to the Project Schematic 3.g Save the Project by selecting the Save As icon and Browse to the directory indicated by your instructor. Enter bird_strike for the Project name
Training Manual
SC
WS 6-7
Step 3 Define Engineering Data Material ... 3.h Temporary fix

Return to Engineering Data and enter 0 for the Shear Modulus for WATER2. (This is an error that will be fixed in the next release)
Training Manual
WS 6-8
Step 4 Import the Geometry
Training Manual
4.a Import the geometry database bird_strike.agdb as shown below
RMB
SC
WS 6-9
Step 5 Edit the Model in Mechanical

5.a Edit the model in Workbench Mechanical.
Training Manual
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
WS 6-10
Step 5 Edit the Model in Mechanical ...

5.c Assign a thickness of 0.005 meters and the material AL5083H116 to Stiffener_1, Stiffener_2, Stiffener_3 and Stiffener_4 5.d Assign a thickness of 0.003 meters and the material AL5083H116 to Skin 5.e Assign the material WATER2 to Bird
Training Manual
WS 6-11
Step 5 Edit the Model in Mechanical ...

5.f Notice the automatically defined Body Interaction. This allows a frictionless sliding interaction between all bodies
Training Manual
WS 6-12
Step 6 Generate the Default Mesh

6.a Generate the default mesh
Training Manual
Quality of the Bird mesh is not important as it will only be used to create a region of SPH nodes in AUTODYN
RMB
Default mesh is reasonable, but not uniform
WS 6-13
Step 7 Change the Mesh Method

RMB SC
Training Manual
RMB
SC
7.a Insert a Meshing Method 7.b Select all bodies (RMB in the view area) 7.c Deselect the Bird body (<control> + SC on body) 7.d Select Apply
ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary 2009 ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved. February 27, 2009 Inventory #002665
<control> + SC
WS 6-14
Step 7 Change the Mesh Method

7.e Select Uniform Quad for the Method 7.f Enter 0.025 m for the Element Size 7.g Enter 0.025 m for the Defeaturing Tolerance 7.h Generate the mesh
Training Manual
RMB SC
The mesh is now uniform

WS 6-15
Step 8 Define the Initial Conditions

8.a Apply an Initial Velocity Condition to the Bird as shown.
Training Manual
RMB
SC
SC
Select the Bird body
Note: If the Body selection filter is not automatically activated for the initial velocity condition, select it manually.
WS 6-16
Step 8 Define the Initial Conditions ...

8.b Choose Define by Components: X = 250.0 m/s
Training Manual
WS 6-17
Step 9 Define the Analysis Settings
Training Manual
9.a Select Analysis Settings in the tree 9.b Set the End Time to 5.0e-3 seconds in the Details View 9.c Keep the remaining default settings
SC
9.d Save the model on the Workbench Project page

At this point the project has been set up a much as is possible in Explicit Dynamics (ANSYS). It will now be transferred into AUTODYN to complete the setup for the SPH solver and run the analysis
WS 6-18
Step 10 Create (Link to) an AUTODYN Project

10.a On the Workbench Project page, under Component Systems, drag and drop the AUTODYN component onto the Setup cell for the Explicit Dynamics (ANSYS) project. This creates an AUTODYN project whos setup is linked to the Explicit Dynamics Project 10.b Open the AUTODYN project, importing the model set up in the Explicit Dynamics project
Training Manual
D&D
RMB
SC
WS 6-19
Step 11 Generate an SPH Part for the Bird
Training Manual
11.c Enter Bird_SPH for the Part Name 11.d Select the SPH Solver
11.a Select Parts On Navigation Bar 11.b Select New in the dialog panel
11.e Accept the data
WS 6-20
Step 12 Create an SPH Object from the Bird Part 12.a Select Geometry (Zoning) 12.b Under Import Objects, select Part 12.c Select the Bird Part to convert to an object 12.d Name the Object SPH_Bird 12.e Accept the data
Training Manual
WS 6-21
Step 13 Delete the (Lagrange) Bird Part
Training Manual
Now that the new SPH object has been created, the Bird Part (created in Explicit Dynamics) is no longer needed, so delete it 13.a Select Delete 13.b Select the Bird Part 13.c Accept the data
New SPH Object
WS 6-22
Step 14 Pack SPH_Bird Object with SPH Nodes

14.e Select Initial Condition Set 3
Training Manual
14.g Enter 15.0 mm for the Particle (Water and 250 m/s) Size 14.d Check Fill 14.h Accept the with Initial data 14.f Select next Condition Set
14.a Select Pack (Fill) 14.b Select the SPH_Bird object 14.c Select Pack Selected Object(s)
WS 6-23
Step 15 Load a Plot Settings File
Training Manual
15.a Load the plot settings file bird_strike_2.set to obtain the following view
WS 6-24
Step 16 Set up the Bird / Wing Interaction

16.a Select Interaction on the Navigation Bar 16.b Select External Gap (this must be used for Lagrange/SPH interactions) 16.c Enter a Gap size of 1.5 mm 16.d Select Check A message will tell you that the input parameters are OK
Training Manual
WS 6-25
Step 17 Run the Analysis

17.a Save the project on the Workbench Project Page 17.b Select Run to start the solve 17.c Once the calculation is running, Select Stop at any time to stop the calculation (you can then press Run again to continue the calculation)
Training Manual
The calculation takes approximately 40 minutes to run to completion (about 7500 cycles)
