Abaqus Tutorial 9: Ball Plate Impact

This tutorial covers a basic example of a ball being fired at an aluminum plate. An element deletion criterion is defined and therefore the plate ruptures and allows the ball to pass through.

The tutorial will help you to:

  • Define a ductile damage evolution to allow for element deletion
  • Increase the frequency at which the results are written to the *.odb
  • Investigate how the mesh density affects the crack propagations
