Conduct what if study on previous Taylor impact test model by tracking maximum equivalent plastic strain as a function of initial rod velocity.
Procedure:
Duplicate the existing Explicit Dynamics (ANSYS) Analysis System Project Assign a parameter to the initial velocity condition of the rod Assign a parameter to the maximum equivalent plastic strain Run the parameterized system from the Project Schematic Review the results Equivalent plastic strain plots are shown below corresponding to the initial velocities indicated above each image:
Vz = -100 m/sec
Vz = -300 m/sec
Vz = -500 m/sec

2.b Click on the empty box to the left of the Z Component. A blue P will appear in the box indicating that the value is now a parameter.

This input parameter will be controlled from the Project Schematic. Initial velocities of 100 m/sec and 500 m/sec will also be studied.

3.a Select the Equivalent Plastic Strain branch under the Solution branch in the tree.
3.b Click on the empty box to the left of the Maximum Result. A blue P will appear in the box indicating that the value is now a parameter. This output parameter will be a function of the initial rod velocity, which will be controlled from the Project Schematic. Since it is plastic strain, the final result is sufficient, as the maximum plastic strain that occurs over time will still exist at the end of the run, assuming no erosion occurs.

6.a Review the directory tree to verify that each design point was saved via the Export option in Step 4.c. 6.b The directory tree is very complex; always use the Archive feature to pack files for distribution to other ANSYS users.

Training Manual
Since each new design point is saved as a separate project (i.e., taylor_what_if_dp1.wbpj and taylor_what_if_dp2.wbpj), there is no way to view them all in the same project. A given design point can be copied to the current project, but only the input is copied and not the output - even if the results were saved via the Export option. Updating the current design point initiates a new solution with the newly defined current parameter set. However, subsequent versions of ANSYS Workbench will allow the Parameter Manager to create new systems in the same project, making it easier to track. 7.a Therefore, load each project in turn to view the results. Initially, view the results from the current project (taylor_what_if.wbpj) that is based on an initial projectile velocity of Vz = -300 m/sec.

8.i Expose the parameters Youngs Modulus and Yield Strength.
8.j Return to the Project Schematic. Note: Be especially careful in deciding values for these parameters, as the physics of the problem may change. Erosion controls may be necessary to prevent the time step from dropping to zero ...

8.l Create a new design point (or multiple points) as the one shown below. Be sure to Export the results to save them to the disk.
8.m Update the new design point. Since the Project taylor_new.wbpj was copied from another project, all of the design points technically need to be updated. Therefore, just run the new design point by itself to save time.
