The normal vectors of this segment should be facing outwards from the AIRBAG. Please look at this similar problem containing a sphere in a cylinder. The sphere normals are pointing to the center while the cylinder normals are pointing outwards. The control volume of the airbag will be between the&nbsp;cylinder and sphere.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#8221;MsoNormal&#8221;&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/10-12-2024-1733850852-mceclip0.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#8221;MsoNormal&#8221;&gt;&lt;span style=&#8221;mso-no-proof: yes;&#8221;&gt;&lt;!&#8211; [if gte vml 1]&gt;&lt;v:shapetype<br \/>\n id=&#8221;_x0000_t75&#8243; coordsize=&#8221;21600,21600&#8243; o:spt=&#8221;75&#8243; o:preferrelative=&#8221;t&#8221;<br \/>\n path=&#8221;m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe&#8221; filled=&#8221;f&#8221; stroked=&#8221;f&#8221;&gt;<br \/>\n &lt;v:stroke joinstyle=&#8221;miter&#8221;\/&gt;<br \/>\n &lt;v:formulas&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;v:f eqn=&#8221;if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0&#8243;\/&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;v:f eqn=&#8221;sum @0 1 0&#8243;\/&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;v:f eqn=&#8221;sum 0 0 @1&#8243;\/&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;v:f eqn=&#8221;prod @2 1 2&#8243;\/&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;v:f eqn=&#8221;prod @3 21600 pixelWidth&#8221;\/&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;v:f eqn=&#8221;prod @3 21600 pixelHeight&#8221;\/&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;v:f eqn=&#8221;sum @0 0 1&#8243;\/&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;v:f eqn=&#8221;prod @6 1 2&#8243;\/&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;v:f eqn=&#8221;prod @7 21600 pixelWidth&#8221;\/&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;v:f eqn=&#8221;sum @8 21600 0&#8243;\/&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;v:f eqn=&#8221;prod @7 21600 pixelHeight&#8221;\/&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;v:f eqn=&#8221;sum @10 21600 0&#8243;\/&gt;<br \/>\n &lt;\/v:formulas&gt;<br \/>\n &lt;v:path o:extrusionok=&#8221;f&#8221; gradientshapeok=&#8221;t&#8221; o:connecttype=&#8221;rect&#8221;\/&gt;<br \/>\n &lt;o:lock v:ext=&#8221;edit&#8221; aspectratio=&#8221;t&#8221;\/&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;\/v:shapetype&gt;&lt;v:shape id=&#8221;Picture_x0020_1&#8243; o:spid=&#8221;_x0000_i1025&#8243; type=&#8221;#_x0000_t75&#8243;<br \/>\n alt=&#8221;A diagram of a green and red cube&#010;&#010;Description automatically generated&#8221;<br \/>\n style=&#8217;width:468pt;height:424.5pt;visibility:visible;mso-wrap-style:square&#8217;&gt;<br \/>\n &lt;v:imagedata src=&#8221;file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/arycman\/AppData\/Local\/Temp\/msohtmlclip1\/01\/clip_image001.png&#8221;<br \/>\n  o:title=&#8221;A diagram of a green and red cube&#010;&#010;Description automatically generated&#8221;\/&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;\/v:shape&gt;&lt;![endif]&#8211;&gt;&lt;!&#8211; [if !vml]&#8211;&gt;&lt;!&#8211;[endif]&#8211;&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p class=&#8221;MsoNormal&#8221;&gt;2) The thermal expansion (no heat transfer between the structure and the airbag) can be added using *MAT_ADD_THERMAL_EXPANSION and *LOAD_THERMAL_LOAD_CURVE.
