Goal:
Simulate the impact of rod into a plate (typically known as a Taylor Test)
Procedure:
Create an Explicit Dynamics (ANSYS) Analysis System Project
Select the unit system and assign the material properties
Create the rod and plate geometry in DesignModeler
Mesh the two parts and set the initial velocity condition of the rod
Define the analysis settings, boundary conditions, and applied loads
Initiate the solution (AUTODYN - STR) and review the results

Note:
Engineering Data is native in Workbench, but DesignModeler and
Mechanical are NOT currently (but will be in the future). Therefore,
always check that the local units system is as desired.

Note:
The material models in
the Explicit Materials
library are generally
more complicated and
can only be used in
explicit dynamic
analyses.

4.g Use the Left Mouse Button (LMB) and click
on graph origin (a P will appear when the
mouse is over the origin). With the LMB still
depressed, slide the pointer away from the
center until a circle is created. Then let go of
the LMB, completing the circle operation.

operation for the General
Dimensions tool. This is a
temporary selection of a

4.j Select the circle,
creating dimension
R1. Then enter
0.010 meters in the
Details View for the
circle radius.

4.q Select the General tool under the Dimensions Toolbox and
dimension the lines on the top and right side to be 0.040 meters
long. Since the rectangle is no longer centered about the circle,
additional dimensions will need to be defined.

dimensions, use the
RMB to select the
Horizontal and then
the Vertical options,
respectively.

4.y Rename the two solids to be Cylinder and Plate, respectively. Use
the RMB after selecting the body in the tree to access the Rename
function.
The Cylinder is not
frozen, but the Plate
is frozen. Since the
bodies touch each
other, they would be
merged into one
body if both bodies
were unfrozen.

5.c Assign the material Aluminum Alloy NL to the Cylinder and the
material Structural Steel NL to the Plate. To access the materials
stored in the Engineering Data library, click on the default material
currently assigned to the part, and a small fly-out arrow will appear.
Clicking on that arrow lists the materials available for use.
