COMPRESSION AFTER IMPACT:
Dear All, Using the above thread, I have tried compression after impact ANALYSIS several times. Impact analysis is done for a laminate using local-global approach for a 32 layered laminate with impactor having 5.2kg at a velocity of -2.4m/s. For Compression after impact analysis, I know the boundary conditions. But when I imported the whole model using File-import-model-relevant odb file and through load-predefined field-initial, I deleted the impactor from PART module (please tell me deleting the impactor from part is right or wrong). And ran the simulations. The output is not considering the deformed laminate from impact analysis in the beginning. Rather it it only getting compressed. I need to run the simulation for many imperfection factors and right now I am stuck with impacted plate without any imperfection factor. Please tell me should I decrease the values of Xt,Yt,Xc,Yc and cohesive properties for compression analysis?
Kindly give me a hint so that I can complete the work. Kindly help. Thank you in advance.
