*HEADING KNEE BOLSTER IMPACT SIMULATION ** **This example simulates the impact of a knee **and leg structure into a knee bolster assembly ** ** Uses NonStructural Mass feature to bring in ** the upper body mass of the occupant ** into the model. This alone increases ** the time increment by about 80%; thereby ** reducing the CPU cost by 45%. The hip ** beam elements no longer control the time ** increment as the nonstructural mass ** contribution goes to increase the stable ** time increment in these elements. ** ** READ NODE AND NODE SET DEFINITIONS ** FROM EXTERNAL FILE: *INCLUDE,INPUT=knee_bolster_ef1.inp ** ** READ ELEMENT AND ELSET DEFINITIONS ** FROM EXTERNAL FILE: *INCLUDE,INPUT=knee_bolster_ef2.inp ** ** Material definitions ** *MATERIAL, NAME=STEEL *DENSITY 7.7E-09, *ELASTIC, TYPE=ISO 207000.0, 0.3 *PLASTIC 207.0, 0.0 276.0, 0.22 ** *MATERIAL, NAME=BONE *DENSITY 7.7E-12, *ELASTIC, TYPE=ISO 207000.0, 0.3 ** *MATERIAL,NAME=MC8002 *ELASTIC .2346E+04, .4000 *PLASTIC 11.7, 0.00 32.8, 0.00114 47.0, 0.0052 53.5, 0.0227 *DENSITY 1.14E-09, ** *SHELL SECTION,ELSET=STEEL ,MATERIAL=STEEL 1.50000, 5 *SHELL SECTION,ELSET=TOPBRKT ,MATERIAL=STEEL 1.50000, 5 *SHELL SECTION,ELSET=FLRBRKT ,MATERIAL=STEEL 1.50000, 5 *SHELL SECTION,ELSET=SDBRKT ,MATERIAL=STEEL 1.50000, 5 *SHELL SECTION,ELSET=FRONT ,MATERIAL=MC8002 3.00000, 5 *SHELL SECTION,ELSET=CORR ,MATERIAL=MC8002 2.50000, 5 *SHELL SECTION,ELSET=RIBS ,MATERIAL=MC8002 1.88000, 5 ** ** READ BOUNDARY CONDITION DEFINITIONS ** FROM EXTERNAL FILE: *INCLUDE,INPUT=knee_bolster_ef3.inp ** *MPC BEAM, 6447, 3253 BEAM, 6264, 2540 BEAM, 6366, 2555 ** ** Below are beam elements for lower torso. ** *BEAM SECTION,ELSET=TIBCHK,MATERIAL=BONE, SECTION=pipe 43.0, 4.3 *ELEMENT,TYPE=PIPE31,ELSET=TIBCHK ** Left Tibia 8000, 9000, 9001 ** Right Tibia 8100, 9100, 9101 ** Left Hip 8400, 9200, 9400 ** Right Hip 8500, 9400, 9300 *ELSET, ELSET=HIP 8400, 8500 *SOLID SECTION,ELSET=FEMUR,MATERIAL=BONE 2027.0, *ELEMENT, TYPE=T3D2,ELSET=FEMUR ** Left Femur 8200, 9200, 9001 ** Right Femur 8300, 9300, 9101 ** ** ** Initial Conditions and Definitions. ** ** *MASS,ELSET=WT .0082, ** ** Left Shin ** *NSET, NSET=LSHIN, GENERATE 8000, 8121, 1 *ELEMENT,TYPE=MASS,ELSET=WT 10000, 9001 *NSET,NSET=LKNE 9001, *NSET, NSET=RSHIN, GENERATE 8200, 8321, 1 *ELEMENT,TYPE=MASS,ELSET=WT 10001, 9101 *NSET,NSET=RKNE 9101, *NSET,NSET=KNEES 9001, 9101 *INITIAL CONDITIONS,TYPE=VELOCITY KNEES, 1, -5364.48 KNEES, 3, 2839.18 KNEES, 5, -14.1725 ** ** Left hip ** *NSET,NSET=M3 9200, *BOUNDARY M3, 3, , 0. *INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=VELOCITY M3, 1, -6593.58 ** ** Hip Center ** *NSET,NSET=M4 9400, *BOUNDARY M4, 2, 3, 0. *INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=VELOCITY M4, 1, -6593.58 ** ** Right Hip ** *NSET,NSET=M5 9300, *BOUNDARY M5, 3,, 0. *INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=VELOCITY M5, 1, -6593.58 *** *** Add the upper body mass to the model *** distributed over the HIP *NONSTRUCTURAL MASS, ELSET=HIP, UNITS=TOTAL MASS 0.0246 ** ** Ankles ** *NSET,NSET=ANKLE 9000, 9100 *TRANSFORM,NSET=ANKLE 142.200, 0.0, 393.900, 0.0, 100.0, 0.0 *BOUNDARY ANKLE, 1,3, 0.0 ANKLE, 4,, 0.0 *INITIAL CONDITIONS,TYPE=VELOCITY ANKLE, 5, -14.1725 ** ** History Section ** *RESTART,WRITE,NUMBER INTERVAL=30 *SURFACE,TYPE=NODE,NAME=LNODE LNODE, *SURFACE,TYPE=ELEMENT, NAME=RMETAL RMETAL, *SURFACE,TYPE=ELEMENT, NAME=CORR CORR, *SURFACE,TYPE=ELEMENT,NAME=LK LKSHIN2,SPOS *SURFACE,TYPE=NODE,NAME=RNODE RNODE, *SURFACE,TYPE=ELEMENT, NAME=FRONT FRONT, *SURFACE,TYPE=ELEMENT,NAME=RK RKSHIN2,SPOS *SURFACE,TYPE=ELEMENT, NAME=LMETAL LMETAL, *SURFACE INTERACTION, NAME=FRIC *FRICTION 0.2, *RIGID BODY,ELSET=LKSHIN2,REF NODE=9001 *RIGID BODY,ELSET=RKSHIN2,REF NODE=9101 *STEP *DYNAMIC, EXPLICIT ,.10 ** *VARIABLE MASS SCALING, TYPE=BELOW MIN, DT=1.0E-6, FREQ=100 *ELSET, ELSET=QA_TEST FRONT, *NSET, NSET=QA_TEST KNEES, M3, M4, M5 *FILE OUTPUT, NUMBER INTERVAL = 4 *EL FILE, ELSET = QA_TEST PEEQ, *ENERGY FILE ALLIE, ALLKE, ETOTAL, ALLWK, ALLAE, ALLSE, ALLPD *NODE FILE, NSET = QA_TEST U, *OUTPUT, FIELD, TIME MARKS=YES, NUMBER INTER=4 *ELEMENT OUTPUT, ELSET=QA_TEST PEEQ, **NODE OUTPUT, NSET=QA_TEST *NODE OUTPUT U, *OUTPUT, HIST, FREQ=999 *ENERGY OUTPUT, VAR=PRESELECT **OUTPUT, FIELD, NUMBER INTER=1 ***NODE OUTPUT **U, **RF, ** ** Surface Definition ** *CONTACT *CONTACT INCLUSIONS, ALL ELEMENT BASED *CONTACT PROPERTY ASSIGNMENT ,,FRIC ** ** ** Output ** *OUTPUT, FIELD, NUMBER INTERVAL=2 *CONTACT OUTPUT, GENERAL CONTACT, VARIABLE=PRESELECT *OUTPUT,HISTORY,TIME INTERVAL=0.0001 *NODE OUTPUT, NSET=LSHIN U, *NODE OUTPUT, NSET=RSHIN U, *NODE OUTPUT, NSET=LKNE U, *NODE OUTPUT, NSET=RKNE U, *MONITOR, NODE=9400,DOF=1 *ENDSTEP
