Modeling Composites in Explicit dynamics. [Ansys]

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on modeling composites in explicit dynamics using Ansys software. The user seeks guidance on how to create a multi-layer composite model within Ansys Workbench. They were advised to utilize Ansys Classic for modeling and meshing the composite, followed by writing a macro file to integrate the mesh into Workbench. The effectiveness of this approach remains uncertain to the user, who is looking for concrete examples and methods.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Ansys Workbench and Ansys Classic
  • Understanding of composite materials and their layering
  • Basic knowledge of macro file creation in Ansys
  • Experience with explicit dynamics simulations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to model multi-layer composites in Ansys Classic
  • Learn the process of writing macro files for Ansys
  • Explore tutorials on meshing techniques for composites in Ansys Workbench
  • Investigate explicit dynamics simulation settings in Ansys for composite materials
USEFUL FOR

Engineers and analysts working with composite materials in explicit dynamics simulations, particularly those using Ansys software for modeling and analysis.

Hello,
I am trying to model an explicit dynamics model in Ansys, to study impact of different objects. I cannot figure out how to model a composite with several layers in workbench.

I have been trying to achieve this for over a week now. I was told that I can model the composite in Ansys Classic, mesh it, and then write a macro file. then use the macro file in Workbench to define the mesh. I have no idea if this will work, or how to even do it.

I have seen several examples on youtube of composites, but not sure how to model one?

Thanks in advance,
