Thank you Ameen. Very useful things, thank you very much for your tutorials. Especially for complex materials such as cohesive material maps. I will be incredibly grateful and happy for you if your channel develops. There are few people like you, you need to be appreciated.
Thanks again Mr. Ameen Topa. I've been learning about explicit dynamics for nearly 2 months now under my own initiative. I'm sure its going to be beneficial for my addditional skillset. I came from your LinkedIn by the way. :)
Hey Ameen, thanks for your videos in the first place ! They‘re very informative and a big help learning LS-Dyna. My problem is that after following your instructions step by step i can‘t solve it with LS-Run. There‘s an error occuring (Error termination). Van you please help me ? Thanks in advance !
Thanks for tutorial. How do I learn modelling as you are doing? Like which BCs or which materials I use etc. etc.? I am just a fresh graduate trying to learn LS Dyna. How can I learn modelling skills ?!
Practice and redo the tutorials in LSDYNA BASIC TUTORIALS playlist. It goes without saying, you need to have a strong foundation in engineering topics such as strength of materials, and good understanding of physics.
Hello Ameen, i got couple of questions for you. 1. bird strike usually severly damages the balde of aircraft. so why did you consider the blade as rigid. as well as the final results dont show any damaged caused to the blade. 2. the thickness of the blade is not constant. it varies from leading edge to the trailing edge. how can i introduce the variation of thickness in the Section properties.
Hi, Usama, 1. Actually, I don't have a background in Aerospace engineering. I don't know what happens in a real bird strike. This tutorial is only to show the example of how to model a soft part with SPH. Yes, you can change the blade and make it deformable. 2. Yes, you are correct. In this example, I intentionally overlooked this variation for simplification. To model the change in the thickness, you need to mesh it as solid part, NOT as a shell. You Solid Mesh tool instead of Auto Mesher.
Thank you Ameen for the informative tutorial. My question is based on the concept of generating the mesh of the fin surface. I have two surfaces in line. it means; First I have drawn an "L" shaped surface and then made it "U". It is done because "L" shape has shell thickness different from the line (used to make it U shaped). My question is whether I need to do something to make it one assembly or it will automatically act as one entity.
As long as the nodes of the L and the U shapes are the same nodes. Then there is no problem. You can use "duplicate node" option to ensure there. If I were you, after I generate the L shape, I will use: element generation, shell, then edge drag.
Thank you for your videos. They are a great help in learning LS-DYNA. Its just that I am unable to visualize the stress and strain results. Its showing 0 stress and 0 strain, thus no variation is denoted. Do I have to do something else to get them?
Ameen Sir, It will be great if you could enlighten us with few solved examples of ALE and multi material ALE based problems. I am working on TNT detonation based problem. The problem can be stated as follows: Effect of TNT explosion is to be determined on dummy, air and soil. TNT is burried in soil . Dummy is laying over sand. It will be great if you can help. Best regards.
Hi Yousaf, from my understanding to your statement, it seems that your request is very basic. I believe if you follow all my tutorials, you will be able to do it. :D

@@AmeenTopa I properly field up all the parameters needed for the simulation, the sph also have density but it still passing through the blade. it's kinda weird.
@@morlax1875 check the material properties of the propeller, the contact definition, and that you have defined the node set correctly. This video is almost five years ago. Other people has manage to do it. So, it means the video is fine. You just missed something
Use the double precision solver, and make sure the node set is defined properly in the contact. The density of the sph should be set before you create the sph particles. The thickness of the blades should be set correctly. Mesh size of the blades should be similar to the one in the video. I think that's all. There is a another tutorial on Bird strike. Please watch that as well.
Hi Ameen, thank you for your nice videos. I am doing bird strike analysis against rigid flat plate. I want to take pressure values form middle of plate but pressure reading shows zero. When I define plate material as 24 piecewise linear plasticity, I can take pressure data nonzero but the values are different than study I am trying to validate. Also when I change thickness of plate, pressure changes. How can I look pressure data from middle of RIGID plate(MAT_RIGID)?

Hello Ameen, I just wanted to see deformations on the blades so, I have changed the material from rigid to 24 piecewise linear plasticity. so I had to change the prescribed motion rigid to prescribed motion set. but after solution, i saw that the blades didn't rotate even i didn't add constraint. so can you explain me how to change material to make it deformable?
prescribed motion rigid works only ridid parts. since you made it deformable it will won't work. You may use prescribed motion set, on a set of nodes which is in the inner periphery of the blades.
Sir, I have a model on LS-Dyna where I am supposed to use different combinations of parameters. However, after making changes to the parent model and running the simulation on LS Run, I cannot put multiple simulations on LS-Run at the same time. The problem that shows up is LS-Dyna file already exists in the directory. Can you help me in running multiple simulations at the same time by making different changes everytime?
Hi Ameen. I am trying to do a hypervelocity impact simulation using impedance graded shield materials and I need to tie SPH areas to each other. I was wondering if you knew of a method to do this? I want to tie adjacent layers of SPH material together and can't seem to find a contact that would work. Thanks!

Hi ! I'm learning the software LS DYNA, and I don't understand something : can you explain the difference between doing an object (here the bird) with nodes and with elements with mesh ? I'm watching all your tutorials (thank you for that by the way) and previously you didn't use nodes to create objects. The question is why ? Thank you for your answer.
Hi. When the object (we call it part in LS DYNA) is expected to severely deform in the simulation, it is better not to model it with meshed elements. The distortion of the elements will be severe and hence errors may occur while solving the problem.
Hey iam in beginning phase of ls dyna do you help me to know how to add composite materails property into ls dyna softarwe,or else please send me a video which incloude a fathoming of composite material when it is utilized to apply stack. stack affect
Hey, LS Dyna is a very capable software and can do simulation of lots of things. Since you are still in beginner, I advise you first to grasp the basics of this software, how to simulate with normal material like metals, polymers...then you can advance to composite materials. You cannot rush things, but you need to learn the basics first.
ya sir however my project of M.tech depends on composite materials, i,e contributing of composite materials for ballastic effect and examination of that materials utilizing ls dyna the disappointment rates et cetera that is the reason iam making little rush.
We apply load usually when we want to find the stress due to some external force. To apply movement or rotation, we used PRESCRIBED MOTION or INITIAL VELOCITY.
after using(RUN) ls manger solver or ansys mechanical APDL launcher Solver,i am not be able to do binary 3D Plot,it is not showing when i open that file in ls dyna.why is it so?while same process i followed which u gave in this video.
I don't understand what you mean. If you follow my instructions, the solver will produce d3plot files. These files, you open then is ls prepost. Check my first tutorial for more details.

Use the double precision solver, and make sure the node set is defined properly in the contact.
The density of the sph should be set before you create the sph particles.
The thickness of the blades should be set correctly.

Pressure equals to force over area. You can get the forces from RCFOR then divide by the plate area. I hope this helps.

No. Aerodynamic loads are negligible when compared to impact from bird.
