Bird strike on composite

Altair Forum User

Hi Guys,

 

I'm trying to simulate a bird impact on a composite plate, I made several attempts but the solution always diverges. Maybe something is wrong in material failure or in material/laminate definiton. The on-line helps are not very usefull. Please, someone can help me on this deal with some example / tutorial ?

 

thanks a lot

The model you are working with would help in finding you a solution. Which composite? How did you model the bird? Just like how no one can correct your code without seeing what your program is line-by-line, no one can guess what your simulation is doing. 

 

I have attached a bird strike simulation I performed on a GLARE plate from a while back. Let me know if it works for you.
