It is total energy, all energies added together and have not included heat dissipation in the simulation. Abaqus has the option of plotting total energy. The total energy should be constant.

I am simulating a sphere bouncing of a rigid plane in Abaqus Explicit as seen in the assembly below, It consists of a axisymmertic semi circle for the sphere, with a velocity in th-y direction and an analytical ridig for the plane. The material is elastic, with E=9.3Gpa, Mass Density=900kg/m3...

Thank you all for your replies. [bigsmile] Okay, I understand that the automatic time step might result to different time increments for different total times based on various factors with the ultimate aim to reach convergence. Do a similar optimization also take place when a user-defined...

I am simulating a ball bouncing using Abaqus/Explicit. I have noticed that if the total time of the simulation is changed theresults also change, which I think does not make sense as the whole setup is the same except the total time. Here is the plot of Kinetic Energy vs Time for 3 different...
