Rigid wall velocity

Hey every one,

 

I'm doing a crash test using a rigid wall with an initial velocity.

How can I get the velocity of the rigid wall?

I would like the curve of the velocity (or position or acceleration) of the rigid wall with hyperview.

Here is my Engine file:

#RADIOSS ENGINE
/ANIM/DT
0 0.2
/ANIM/MASS
/ANIM/ELEM/VONM
/ANIM/VECT/CONT
/ANIM/VECT/DISP
/ANIM/VECT/FOPT
/ANIM/VECT/ACC
/ANIM/VECT/VEL
/ANIM/VECT/PCONT
/RUN/shell_solid/0/
60.0
/TFILE
0.5
/VERS/110
/PROC/2

 

Thank in advance,

 

Robin

    Hi Robzim,

     

    try this:

     

    Create an output block for the node of the rigid way and edit the same to define velocity output. Here is a link which discusses on how to output reaction force using REAZ definition.

     

     

     

     

    Instead use VX/VY/VZ to get the velocity for the node. All the output information will be written to T01 (time history file) and you can use that to plot using HyperGraph.
