Rigid body

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,

Vishruth

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
