Thank you for the advice. I'm trying to do a cell partition, but for some reason whenever I press remove selected to hide a part in the geometry it deletes only the face but not the edges. Any ideas?

Dear All, I have attached a folder containing two images of the part I want to mesh. I want to make an object impact the intersection of the top right plate with the front plate where the cursor is in the second photo. Please instruct me on the best way to do this, as I am unable to create a...

Thank you!

Dear all, I am trying to model a realistic bullet impact simulation in Ansys Explicit Dynamics. I have successfully run the simulation several times on various surfaces. I have used Johnson-Cook parameters and specified material properties. However, I am not sure if Ansys automatically accounts...

Dear all, I know that I can use Material Designer (Workbench 17.0), but there does not seem to be enough information online/YouTube for creating Kevlar fibres specifically. Furthermore, is it possible to integrate the material from Material Designer or Granta and incorporate it into one of the...

Dear all, I was wondering how this could be done. I want to create cones on the surface of a sphere or arbitrary curved surfaces in Solid Edge, but I'm not sure how I could do this. Couldn't find anything relevant on YouTube. I tried the trim and extrude functions and all manner of sketches, but...

I deleted the other one.

Hello all, I made a post over a month ago asking about body armour modelling. I am currently in the process of testing ballistic impact on different types of surfaces before I carry it out on the body armour. I have posted my query on the FEA forum but was hoping someone on here might know how...

Would anyone recommend Autodesk Alias for surfacing? I know it is mostly used for automotive, but can it hypothetically be used to create a 3D ballistic vest?

Thank you all for the helpful advice here. I have decent experience with Solid Edge only as far as CAD goes. I am mostly an FEA operator. I will try my hand with surfacing or contact a vendor/expert who could guide me.

As I mentioned above, I am already familiar with impact theory and can carry out the FEA simulations. That isn't my issue, it's which approach to use to make the armour.

I know how to do impact simulations in an FEA software. What I want to test is how energy dissipates in different armours and how these armours deform when impacted. I am designing NIJ III armour. I can use plates to test the properties of the composites, but I also want to examine the effect of...

Hello All, I was wondering if anybody could give me some tips on how to create a 3D model of body armour that I could then import into an FEA software like Ansys or Abaqus. There are very few tutorials on YouTube, and they aren't too helpful. I want to create a vest that covers the torso...
