Dear all,
I am attempting to model an impact test using Abaqus. I have modeled a projectile falling from a distance of 10 meters using solid elements. The gravity was modeled though the dynamic explicit step. I have also used surface to surface contact with a friction coefficient of 0.2. My results show correct deflections but the impact force time history presents a peak does without damping. The acceleration graph is also a bit weird.
If anyone has any experience using Abaqus and provide me with any advice I would appreciate it.
Thank you.
Stath.
