MAT LAW for fluid(water or air)
Altair EmployeeHi,
I am working on drop test analysis of a bottle carrying a fluid.
For fluid made the hexa elements by referring the tutorial of drop test.
Can we use tetra elements instead of hexa elements?
If yes,there is any difference in final output?
Also suggest the MAT LAW for fluid.

I think you can use Tetra. I don't see any exception on help regarding element type.
Altair EmployeeI think for ALE formulation,it doesn't support tetra elements.
/MAT/LAW 6 is compatible for fluid. The best approach to model fluid is SPH formulation.
Altair EmployeeHi,
If we consider the bottle carrying fluid is SPH elements, then what should be the contact type for bottle and sph elements interface?
Altair EmployeeYou can try with general purpose contact, which is Type 7.
Hi Tushar,
LAW 6 Hydro. Compatible with SPH elements.
