Preparing to demonstrate a drop test the other day, I was reminded of a useful procedure for creating a suitable mesh and thought you might like to know about it.  <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Identify the surface that will hit the ground first during the drop test. <\/li>\n
  2. Create a static study. <\/li>\n
  3. Add a fixed restraint to the surface identified in the first step above. <\/li>\n
  4. Apply a reasonable gravity loading (e.g. 10g). <\/li>\n
  5. Then run an h-adaptive study with a fine accuracy setting. <\/li>\n
  6. Create the drop test study and then drag and drop the mesh from the static study on to it. <\/li>\n
  7. Continue with the drop test. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    By using an h-adaptive mesh, you should find the elements are refined in the regions most suitable for the drop test. Sneaky but cool.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
