Hello,
We are developing drop test methodology (ISTA standards of drop test)using Radioss Solver for our product range . I have specified initial velocity for a specific height and gravity to drop against a rigid wall. We use Abaqus solver for drop test but now plan to shift towards Radioss. Mostly tied contacts are used in the simulation load case and the model is checked using Model check tool and is debugged.
Average element size used for shell elements is 4 mm, 15 mm for Tetras. Overall element count is around 600k.
What could be the possible reasons for increase in simulation time ?
