Problems in BCS
Altair EmployeeHi,
I simulated a ship collision analysis.
Initially BCs applied to some nodes in all 6DOF till few time, later some of the BCs removed and only one BC applied in second Engine file.
Initially the BCs were performed fine till 0.1sec (as attached in image for first Engine file). But in the second Engine file the applied BC (/BCS/TRA/Z/1) is not activated and the model starts moving along Z direction due to gravity.
What is the most probable reason for this issue.
Kindly resolve it.

Hi Pritam,
BCS looks fine in restart file, not sure if the skew is causing the error. Can you constraint in global direction instead and check if that helps?

Dear Prakash,
It seems the skew is fine as the INIV/TRA/Y/1 card works fine with the same skew.
as you suggested, the skew is in global direction only, no other skew applied.
Thanking You.

Is it possible to share the model file?

Hi Pritam,
I ran a similar case on a simple model as your model is taking time to complete.
BCS/TRA works fine on a simple plate model.
Right now, I am checking your model and I will get back to you with details.

Waiting for your reply.

Hi @Pritam K
Can you try BCSR to release the Dofs from the 1st engine and retain what is necessary and check if that helps?

Here are the findings:
Make sure the ID 50903429 is the id of Master node (RBID) of RBODY and not the element ID
In the second Engine file I could see /RBODY/OFF on 50903429, so the BC on that node will not be applied. This is the main reason why it is not working.

Here the node 50903429 is only OFF, but the BC should apply for rest of the nodes (i.e. 50000000 to 50903428)
I modified the /BCS/TRA/Z/1 from :
/BCS/TRA/Z/1
50000000 to 50903429
to
/BCS/TRA/Z/1
50000000 to 50903428
but there is some unexpected behavior occurs.
