jheidt2543, I am desiging a load floor of an automative vehicle, the cement bag is specified as spec, and the height from which it is dropped is also a spec, based on the observation of usuage of load floor. I am not intrested in the cement bag, however I cannot use corn bag as both of them will...
have any one modeled a cement bag in a dyan analysis or any other analysis. What I am trying to do here is to drop a cement bag on floor and see the stresses of the floor.
The only thing I can thinks of except model quality check is the distribution of mass in the structure. A well distribute stucture with good symmetry, should show translation and rotation in pure x y and z direction. This is just my guess, comments are welcome.
If you read the LSdyna manual it says this is a highly compressible low density foam. It has unidirectional properties and hence no poission's ratio is considered. I don't know where you are using this material. It is generally used to represent seat cushions and padding on side impact dummies...
Hi all,
I was just wandering if there is a way to create surface data from the FE mesh. I know hypermesh can create line data from the mesh but unfortunately it cannot create surface data.
Thanks
Rajesh
There is a post processor called lspost ( free download from www.lstc.com) throw your xy data in there, then you will be able to plot it. Once you have plotted the curve, the software allows you to operate on the curve (like integrate, differenciate etc.). Or you can use excel.
