I want to proceed with the analysis of the ball hitting the glass and breaking it. The photo below shows the plate made of aluminum using 18.MAT_POWER_LAW_PLASTICITY. I want to change the aluminum material to glass material. I want to use 280.MAT_GLASS. Can you give me an example? What I am using is the free version, LS-PrePost.

Thank you for your answer! However, the example in the link you provided cannot be run on my computer. If you don't mind, I'll show you an example I made so you can tell me what's wrong. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi Yoon,

 

The example file is in *.tgz extension, or in gunzip format. Please use winrar or similar software to extract the input deck residing inside it. If you're using terminal use can use the command tar -xvzf /path/to/yaris_windshield_mat_280_pse.tgz to extract those.

 

 

Thanks,

Tonmoy.

Hi Dale,

This is an example I created. The model disappears after 2.18seconds. Please tell me what's wrong.
