Using ANSYS To Study Impact Step by Step

This document provides steps for using ANSYS to simulate a car crash impact: 1. Choose Explicit Dynamics and import a car model geometry file. 2. Assign the car body material as aluminum alloy and mesh the model. 3. Set the initial condition of -30m/s velocity on the car body and fix the back of the impact obstacle. 4. Run the simulation with a duration of 0.0007 seconds and output total deformation and equivalent stress results.

Using ANSYS to study Impact step by step

By group 2
1. Choose Explicit Dynamics

2. Choose Engineering Data

Due to our car body being made of Aluminum Alloy click on


the plus button and it will show a book symbol next to it.
3. Choose Geometry

Right click on Geometry, choose Import Geometry then


choose “car-crash-step.stp”.
4. Working on Model
Double click on Model and wait for ANSYS to finish loading
your model. You will receive this:
5. Assign material to body

Click on Material, choose Aluminum Alloy.


6. Meshing
Click on Mesh then choose Update and wait. After that you
should receive this:
7. Assign Initial Setting

Right click on Initial Condition, choose Insert then choose


Velocity. Select the car body, click on Geometry and choose
Apply.

Click on Define By and choose Components

Click on the X component and fill in your velocity. In our


case since the car was crashing into the wall at the velocity of
30m/s we filled in -30m/s.
8. Assign Analysis setting.
Click on Analysis setting, choose the back of the obstacle
then right click, choose Insert and click on fixed support.

Choose the edge of the car body (During this process you may
need to zoom in the car body and flip it over to cover all the
lines.) Right click, choose Insert then Displacement.
Click on the Y component and fill it with 0. You will receive
this.

Go to Analysis Setting, click on End Time and set the


duration your simulation lasts, in our case it’s 0.0007. You
will receive this.

Scroll down and click on the plus button on the Output


control, choose Result Number of Points and fill with 100.
9. Determine the result
According to your need you can solve for various results. In
this case we will solve for Total Deformation and
Equivalent Stress.

Right click on Solution, choose Insert, Deformation and


then Total. Similarly for Stress only this time choose
Equivalent. Then click on Solve and wait for the result.
You should received two result similar to this:

Total Deformation
Equivalent Stress
