The next step in the process of adding a new material to the database is to define the interaction properties between the new material and all other materials that exist in the database. This page of the wizard is used to define the impact portion of the interaction.
If you don't want to define values for this interaction pair, select Next to move to the next material in the database.
If you define values for this interaction, select Next to specify the friction values for the interaction.
|
Stiffness |
Enter the stiffness of the boundary interaction between the two parts. It should be set to a number that approximates the material stiffness of the two parts in collision. |
|
Exponent |
Enter the exponent of the force deformation characteristic. The collision is modeled using an exponential force function. |
|
Damping |
Enter the maximum damping coefficient of the boundary interaction. |
|
Penetration |
Enter the boundary penetration distance where full damping occurs. |
|
Coefficient of Restitution |
Enter the coefficient of restitution for the impact. This number must be between 0 and 1. |
