Dynamic Analysis Using Ansys Mechanical — Lesson 2

In actual conditions, a car can hit a stationary object, another car, or the ground during rollover. In the first and third cases, ground and stationary objects are non-deformable bodies, so the time of impact will be less compared to the second case, where a car hits another car (deformable body).

In the current dynamic analysis case, we will assume that the car is hitting a stationary wall, which can be modeled as a rigid body. The vehicle is considered to be in a state of motion and moving with a velocity of 30 miles/hour.
