Hello!
I am trying to model an inelastic collision of a ball into a rigid flat surface. I am trying to model the most basic of examples to obtain the coefficient of restitution. I am also neglecting the force due to gravity on the ball.
For my initial analysis I am planning to model a normal impact of the ball to the plate. However I am not able to make the ball bounce back up from the plate. I have tried the "Surface-to Surface contact" option and have kept a distance of 2 m from the plate. In my simulation the ball never really touches the plate. The visualization shows no rebounding of the ball either.
It would be extremely helpful if anyone could guide me through the process as this is my second week of using ABAQUS, and haven't found any relevant tutorials to solve my problem.
Thank you so much in advance.
