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.

Hello James, 

Please find attached an article about airbag contact modeling https://www.dynasupport.com/tutorial/contact-modeling-in-ls-dyna/airbag-contact

Could you please let us know what type of contact are you using between the airbag and the structure? 

I would recommend starting with CONTACT_AUTOMATIC_SURFACE_TO_SURFACE with SOFT = 1 and it might be required to scale the contact thickness on the airbag side e.g., 1 mm. 

Please let us know how it goes. 
Thank you,
AlexÂ
