I read on LS-DYNA support that you can change the penalty scaling factor to adjust for this, however, even with large adjustments, I am still getting odd behavior. I feel like I am altering the solution too much by changing the penalty scaling factor so any additional notes on how this works is appreciated. Are there any other ideas on how to address this to make sure the projectile doesn&#8217;t go through the material?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<\/p>\n<p>Peter<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/28-07-2023-1690572154-60_percent_orig_photo.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-295408","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["39634","275204","290865"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.217.200.71"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["399"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["295408"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27814"],"_bbp_engagement":["39634","275204","290865"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["298231"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["298231"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-08-04 17:03:04"]},"test":"yipxx043umn-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/295408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/295408\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
