Contact
Different kinds of contact
Contact I
A shell element drops and rebounds on an elastic plate.
Edge
A corrugated plate strikes a flat plate from opposite directions.
Entity
A rigid sphere drops onto an elastic plate. The sphere contains shell elements automatically generated with a "Geometric Contact Entity" spherical surface.
Eroding
A projectile strikes a plate at a critical angle.
Tied 1
A sphere impacts a plate at high speed causing failure of the plate. This model can be used to show how different contacts can behave differently in a rather simple model. Instructions of this are explained in the header of the input deck.
Tied 2
A shell element drops onto and then rebounds from, a hollow box that is tied to an elastic plate.
