This is new feature in R18.2 to solve drop tests problems. The Drop Test Wizard allows a fully automated setup of a drop test analysis within an Explicit Dynamics analysis or Workbench LS-DYNA system. You need only supply a file containing the geometry of the object to be dropped in the analysis. The wizard allows you to change the initial orientation of the geometry, and automatically creates a rigid, fixed target geometry within Mechanical which can also be oriented at an angle. The wizard applies impact velocity and standard earth gravity boundary conditions to the dropped geometry and defines contact behavior between the geometry and the target.
