Hi everybody,

 

I'm am currently working on a project on Hyperworks, and I would have a question regarding the coefficient of restitution in the contact between two solids. In fact, I don't know how to provide my model in Hyperworks with this coefficient: does it have to be in the creation of the materials, or does it have a link with the rigid body? (For information, I am working on shock between a ball and a plate).

Thank you very much for your help,
