Rigid body

Viking_d

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,

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
