Hello,

 

Im doing an impact analysis for a single component of a car. I want to contsrain one end of the component ( side sill) and apply a velocity to this component. What is the right way to make one side of the component rigid? 

 

Thank you,

Vishruth Dilip

    Thank you! 

    I have another question regarding penetrations. The penetrations are not visible, I could use the autofix tool but the mesh gets distorted! Is there anyway i can fix this! I have attached an image of the failed elements! 

     

     

    Thank you,

    Like you mentioned last time , about unchecking self penetration, i dont seem to find that option. This is what i use to check the penetrations and intersections.

    Hi vishruthdilip

     

    You can get the option for unchecking self penetration from OptiStruct user profile.

     

    Thanks
