ABSORBED ENERGY BY BULLET AND SHIELD UPON IMPACT 1

[Oluwakay]

Good day Everyone.
Please I have a bothering question. How do I get the kinetic energy of the bullet, absorbed energy of the bullet and the absorbed energy by the shield after impact in abaqus? How do I obtain these energies from HISTORY OUTPUT?
Thank you so much!

 

[FEA way]

You can use the default global energy history outputs (ALLKE, ALLIE, ALLPD) or create additional history output requests with those variables for individual parts of your model.

Thank you for your quick response. Do I have to select those option for each part? like for bullet and shield separately
Thank you so much!

 

[FEA way]

Yes if you want to get separate values for each part.
