  Hello,
  I would like to Simulate This gyroid structure (hyperelastic material, static structural, compression). However, I am not sure how I can define the self contact (when cells intersect each other)? would it be better in this case to use dynamic loading? I attached the project file. Thank you.
  All the best,
  Ansys project

  You have uploaded a *.wbpj file. This file is useless without the *_files folder of the same name. In Workbench, open the *.wbpj file and use File, Archive to create a *.wbpz file which contains the *_files folder in the file. Users can then download the *.wbpz file and use Workbench to open the archive.
  Without seeing your model, I can advise you that in Explicit Dynamics, self contact is automatically created with no user input required.
