We have a reference for the column from previous study, and we want to try and simulate it using the parameters they've given us, it consist of Concrete, Reinforcements, and a TNT for blast explosion. However we cannot get the same or predicted result because we didnt really know how to use the software and out time is limited. Can some of the experts help us in understanding how the blasting works in Ansys mechanical. Note that, We know how to make it (Geometry and Engineering data maybe), but we're not sure if its right because the results we get are not the same. Thank you if someone notices this.

hello thank you for response, i will be showing you this instead to make it safe. i have a column here and i have a 0.1x0.1x0.1 cube beside it (i just hide it to see the column deformation) , what i mean to "beside it" is like its attached or stick into it, it symbolize as TNT or the detonation point, the TNT is 1000kg/m^3. so what im confused is why the maximum deflection for the column is just 0.3mm something. just from imagining it, it should atleast destroy the lower part of the column
