We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Hi Reno. Thanks, it worked. Setting SST and SMT to -1 removed the contact warning and tied successfully the SPH nodes to the adjacent finite elements.

In order to remove artificial waves coming from boundaries in impact modeling, non-reflecting boundary condition (NRBC) is suggested. However, as I've seen so far in my models, NRBC does not work well for SPH nodes except for the fixed SPH nodes. I mean, non-fixed SPH nodes are deactivated when NRBC is applied. Do you have any idea in this regard? Is there anything else playing the same role as NRBC for non-fixed SPH nodes? FYI, I usually fix the bottom SPH nodes, and the side SPH nodes making my target are free. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.
