Exercise 7.1 - Three Point Bending with HyperCrash


This exercise demonstrates how to set up 3-point bending model with symmetric boundary
conditions in Y direction (across the XZ plane).

Model Description

UNITS: Length (mm), Time (s), Mass (ton), Force (N) and Stress (MPa)

Simulation time: in Engine file [0 7.00e-002s]

Only one half of the model is modeled because it is symmetric.

The supports are totally fixed. An imposed velocity of 1000 mm/s is applied on the
Impactor in the (Z) direction

Model size = 370mm x 46.5mm x 159mm

8. Set Parameters as shown below

In this case we choose GAPmin=0.45 because that is half the thinnest shell thickness. The parameter
Igap=2 gives us variable gap , INACTI=6 will adjust the gap if any initial penetrations exist, when selecting
friction in contact (set to 0.1 here), flag Iform should be set to 2 for Stiffness formulation.
