Simulation repeated impact of the rigid body to the steel box in Abaqus

In this tutorial, the simulation repeated the impact of the rigid body to the steel box in Abaqus has been investigated. The steel box is modeled as a three-dimensional shell part and the rigid projectile is modeled as a rigid shell part. You can see a figure of the assembled part below

The steel material is used for the beam with elastic-plastic behavior. Because of the rigid body velocity, the ductile and shear damage is used to predict damage propagation in the beam. The dynamic explicit procedure is appropriate for this type of analysis. The general contact algorithm with the friction coefficient as a contact property is implied. The fixed boundary condition is used for two ends of the beam and initial velocity for the rigid projectile. The should be fine to obtain good results

In the first simulation, after the impact the stress, strain, damage…are achievable. In the second simulation, the results from the first simulation are imported to the new model as residual stress and strain, After the second simulation, the results can be compared with the previous simulation. In the third simulation or third impact, the results from the second simulation are imported to the new model as an initial condition. By calling ODB output for each analysis, the result can be placed on the new model. You can some figures for the results below
