Hi,

Thanks for the details. I am not sure which part the initial velocity was assigned to, but my guess is one part is hitting the other part based on this given velocity, and after the collision, the colliding part changes its moving direction. If that is the case, the reason you do not see the transfer of you part along the expected orientation before the collision might be the low output interval you set. Ensure your output interval in the DATABASE keyword cards is high enough to increase the resolution of the results (more data along the time).

Please keep me posted.

Thanks,

Pedram
