    KIÊN HOÀNG TRUNG
    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
