abaqus' bouncing rubber ball

Mar 19, 2009 1 Replies

how do u draw a bouncing rubber ball in abaqus assuming E=2e09 and possion ratio of .3? and time being 30 sec. please try it on abaqus first and tell me how after u trial is successful. i couldn't rotate a circle to form a sphere.


i try a .5kg rubber ball with 2.54cm diameter. i can create a sphere using axisymmetry and then shell with zero radius as inner diameter and load as gravity, but i can't get it bounce.
