RWALL

Altair Forum User

I am trying to simulate an impact of a body to a rigid wall. I have created an RWALL and selected the body as the slave for the Rigid Wall. My question now is do I have to create another Interface for my analysis? 

 

Thank you,

Hi Datta,

A rigid wall is a nodal constraint applied to a set of slave nodes in order to avoid the node penetration to the wall. 

There is no need to create another interface for the body and rigid wall.

 

Please check this tutorial also as this is a similar case : http://www.altairuniversity.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Bumper_Crash_final.pdf
