Good morning, in my exploration of patran-nastran I am trying to solve a problem that seems complex, I wanted to ask if someone can help me and understand if this problem is solved.
I am trying to shape a bullet that pierces an aluminum plate; I used a sol400 and set an elasto-plastic material with a maximum stress failure criterion. I assigned the bullet an initial speed. I then set a contact condition for the two bodies and set the master/slave conditions. performing the analysis however what happens is that the plate is not perforated (as I would have expected, since the literature with my plate thickness and the speed set I have drilling) but the bullet deforms the plate and then bounces back, despite the tensions on the plate are higher than those I set for failure.
igo model image and bdf file
I therefore wanted to ask if it is possible to eliminate the elements that fail during the simulation or if this problem is not solved.
thanks in advance
