Hello everyone.
I'm simulating an urban blast calculation in the explicit module, but first I put together a small test problem.
I need help with some settings.
1. I have three solid bodies: a cylinder, a TNT charge (a sphere), and air (a cube surrounding everything).
The TNT charge and air are Eulerian solids, and the cylinder is a Lagrange solid.

The mesh has 70,000 elements.

2. I set the calculation time to 0.001 since the model is small. For a large model, the calculation time is 1-15 ms because it includes a large building.

3. I also adjusted the SPH speed time and the number of cells for my model, and I increased the number of result records to 200 (see images).
4. The calculation time is 10 minutes. I also configured the solver to Autodyn.

5. I display the results: Total Deformation (for the body around the charge), Pressure (expression), ALPHAALL (expression).
These are the results I see:

6. Now I want to see how the explosion waves propagate and make a nice animation, like this:

How do I do this?
Thanks!
