Impact Force plotting using Abaqus/Explicit
Hello Everyone
I am trying to simulate material dumping process from shovel onto mining dump truck. And for that i am using Abaqus/Explicit. When i plot the contact force of material falling onto truck body under gravity, it gives me the maximum value of 0.12e+11, where as a simple theoretical analysis shows that the resulting impact force for 100 tons of material falling under gravity should be 9e5 N. I am not been able to understand the reason that why Abaqus /Explicit is exaggerating the impact/contact force so much. And i dont know how to correct this thing.
Units are as follows:
Mass= kg
Distance/Displacement = mm
Kindly help me out in this situation.
Thanks,
Danish
