RESIDUAL VELOCITY MEASUREMENT 1

[Oluwakay]

Hi Everyone,
Please I will like to ask how to measure or depict residual velocity from Abaqus impact test (if possible).
Thank you in advance.

 

[FEA way]

If the impactor is modeled as a rigid body with an applied initial velocity, you can save the velocity of its reference point as history output and plot it.

Thank you so very much!
I will try it out.
