Reply To: Base ball deformation study using explicit analysis

The best way to learn is to keep building different models. 

Read the Autodyn User's Manual in the ANSYS Help system for more information.

Read this topic about meshing for Explicit Dynamics.

I changed the Z coordinate of the Remote Displacement to make the bat swing about a center that would reach the ball.

Good Luck!
