When I ran the program of forming a shaped jet with LSDYNA to penetrate the explosive reactive armor, I found that the explosives of the explosive reactive armor were also detonated at the same time as the armor-piercing projectile detonated. But the effect I wanted was that the jet formed by the armor-piercing projectile hit the explosive armor and caused the explosives of the reactive armor to explode, and after a few days of testing, I found that when the lsdyna version was R12.0.0, the program would achieve my expected effect, and when the lsdyna version was R13, R13.1, R14, R14.1, R15, the armor-piercing charge and the explosive reactive armor charge would detonate at the same time. In the test program I used S-ALE and used the *ALE_STRUCTURED_MESH_VOLUME_FILLING keyword to fill the liner and armor-piercing charges into the grid generated by the S-ALE keywords, and the charge and armor plates of the explosive reactive armor used the Lagrangian algorithm and coupled them with the *ALE_STRUCTURED_FSI keywords. In another test program, I changed the explosives of the reactive armor to be filled with *ALE_STRUCTURED_MESH_VOLUME_FILLING keywords. Both test programs had the error of simultaneous detonation of the armor-piercing charge and the reactive armor charge at the lsdyna version higher than R12.0.0. In both test procedures, the following keywords *MAT_HIGH_EXPLOSIVE_BURN and *EOS_JWL were used for the charge of armor-piercing shells, and *MAT_ELASTIC_PLASTIC_HYDRO and *EOS_IGNITION_AND_GROWTH_OF_REACTION_IN_HE were used for explosive reactive armor.

The procedure used in the test does not involve any military and state secrets, and I can send you the K file for testing if you need it.

Hi! Unfortunately, this goes beyond what Ansys employees can help on a public forum, so hopefully, other users may chime in. Also, Ansys employees can not exchange any files on the forum. In case you have a commercial license, please open a new case, and our tech support team will be glad to assist you further.

Thank you Aniket, but I want to say that the problem I am experiencing is caused by lsdyna, and I hope you can report to the relevant department to fix the issue where materials using the keywords *MAT_ELASTIC_PLASTIC_HYDRO and *EOS_IGNITION_AND_GROWTH_OF_REACTION_IN_HE will automatically detonate without any outside influence when lsdyna version is higher than R12.

Thanks for your feedback! The thing is the developers may need the file to debug this, is it possible for you to open a new case so that we can exchange files, assuming you are using commercial license?
