Initial velocity not in the initial step?

[RGX124]

Hi,

I would like to model the impact of a sphere on a plane, consequently to another loading.
Is there a way to prescribe an initial velocity condition not in the initial step?
without the restart procedure?

Thanks for the advice.

Define an acceleration or displacement over a step to get the required velocity then deactivate the constraint in the next step. I hope this helps.
