I am simulating an impact between two components.
The impactor is set as rigid and the target body set as deformable.
It is not possible to model the impactor in its entirety hence I have added a point mass to account for the mass of the part not modelled.
However, the point mass (remotely attached) is having no effect on the analysis results and the energy summary would confirm this.
Is anyone able to offer any guidance as to why this may be the case?
Thanks
