Physics Setup

We will demonstrate how to check material selections for the sphere and the rigid plate in our problem.

(Vid 4 - Physics Setup Part 1)

In the following video we will demonstrate how to set up the contact interface using Frictionless Contacts.

(Vid 5 - Physics Setup Part 12)

Next, we will demonstrate how to set up Analysis Settings in ANSYS to introduce substeps to our solution method.

(Vid 6 - Physics Setup Part 23)

Finally, the next video shows how to apply boundary conditions, i.e. point load at the top of the sphere, displacement constraints at the contact interface and along the axis of symmetry.
