We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Ansys Learning Forum Forums Discuss Simulation LS Dyna Multiple INTERFACE_SSI layer for implementing DRM Reply To: Multiple INTERFACE_SSI layer for implementing DRM

The surface for INTERFACE_SSI_STATIC should match that of INTERFACE_SSI. If you use OFFSET in one, use it in the other too.

Also, there is no need to specify a single-element DRM layer - the effective seismic input in LS-DYNA follows Bielak's earlier papers, not the later ones. The only requirement is that the PML should be at least two elements away from the INTERFACE_SSI

Possibly, even in the dynamic case, the meshes on either side are not separated (you should see duplicate nodes on the interface when you highlight it in LSPP)
