Hi all,

I have a project like this:

A cylinder block(the mass is significant)drop on to a sheet of plastic from a certain distance, and this process will repeat 100000 times. The plastic sheet is rigid supported on all edges. The objective is to find out if the plastic sheet is strong enough after these cycles.

Any suggestions on how to do this analysis is highly appreciated.

Thanks!
