Projectile Impacting
Pre-stressed Container
Goal:
Model a projectile
impacting a pre-stressed
container
Procedure:
Pre-stress a container in
Static Structural (ANSYS)
Start ANSYS Workbench and follow the sequenced steps using the
abbreviations shown below:
– DC = Double Click with Left Mouse Button
– D&D = Drag and Drop = Hold Left Mouse Button down on item while dragging it
to new location and then release it (i.e., Copy or Move)
Throughout these Workshops, the procedures shown are not always the
only way to accomplish the desired tasks, so feel free to investigate other
methods via the documentation when outside of this course
• The workshops consistently use RMB in the Outline tree to access options
whenever possible
• Often these options can also be accessed through the “Context” Toolbar
• Sometimes these options can also be accessed using RMB in the View area
