Crash Analysis with Not Relevant Energy Output

User: "Ashish_MEXPERT"

Hello Guys,

 

I am doing Impact Analysis on a Structure of different Materials like Steel, Alu and Composites by hitting with Impactor of Steel. 

 

After the Impact the structure breaks but then Energy is continuously Increasing which i dont understand why it doesnt reamins constant ?

 

I saw the eroded Internal Energy of my model which is also higher so i think may be this can be the reason or is it anything else possible ?

 

I have attached the Energy Plot file, please let me know if anybody can help me to understand this plot better or f there can be the error in my model.

 

BestRegards,

 

Ashish

    Hi @Ashish_MEXPERT

     

    Could you please share the .out file from starter and engine?

    Hi Prakash,

     

    Thanks for your reply !

     

    I have actually modelled in Hypermesh (LS-Dyna Profile) and calculated it with LS-Dyna solver so i dont have generated out file from Hypermesh Radioss Solver. I wanted to know what can be the reason of this unrealistic energy increase after the structure is breaking.

     

    Thanks !

    I would suggest you to contact Dyna support for the same,

    what erroded internal energy stands for?

    It is the energy associated with deleted elements and deleted nodes .The name is coming from word erosion, which means removal of something.

    Here in impact elements after failure are getting removed or getting deleted.

    It can be internal energy as well as kinetic energy. 

    @Ashish_MEXPERT Can you also plot eroded kinetic energy as internal energy in elements after deletion will almost remain constant as they do not have any more capacity to absorb more based  as they are failed. This is also seen in you graph where A plot is getting constant
