As additional information, can I mention that for the material model they use a hardening power of low for the plastic regime and a polynomial curve as function of plastic deformation for the damage evolution.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the ansys MAPDL I already defined the impact through a contact pair and for the plate (Indenter: target 170 and contact surface: conta 174 elements) I use a shell element (shell 181) and for the material model I will define a multilinear isotropic hardening curve from the material data for the plastic regime but for the damage evolution and to generate the breaking of the steel plate, I don&#8217;t know how it proceeds.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Which explicit solvers could I use to do this? I would really appreciate your help.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-302052","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/302052","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reply"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/302052\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
