I am conducting a non-linear dynamic simulation to understand the deformation of a fixed a object when a rigid body moves over it. My simulation consists of a fixed semi-sphere and a rectangular object which is supposed to move over this sphere.
I placed the rectangular block near the sphere and gave two extrenal inputs.
1. A downward force to make sure that block continues exerting pressure on the sphere and that it doesnt fly off.
2. A advanced fixtures of a displacement of 100mm forward so that the block neccessarily moves a 100mm in the forward direction.
But the simulation ends abruptly irrespective of whatever adjustments are made.
What is the correct procedure for going about this simulation
Hi Rosham,
I created a video which should get you pointed in the right direction.
