I simulated the water entry slamming impact problems by used abaqus ALE and CEL but I faced some problems in contact and penetration in CEL model that the water penetrated into rigid structure. can anyone help me.
Make sure there is no sharp corners or edges in your lagrangian structure that is coming in contact with eulerian material. Alternatively, you can replace CEL with SPH.
You can model 'water' with C3D8R elements and use SPH conversion technique. Then define a section controls as:
*SECTION CONTROLS, NAME=EC-1, ELEMENT CONVERSION=YES, CONVERSION CRITERION =TIME
, ,
,,1
,,,,
1,0.0
And use this section controls in *Solid Section for the water that was modeled with C3D8R elements..
Elaboration on the above section controls data entries:
2nd data line 3rd entry: constant/variable smoothing length (here it is variable smoothing length)
4th data line 1st entry: number of SPH particles per isoparametric direction of solid C3D8R elements (here it is 1 meaning 1 SPH particle will be generated per C3D8R element)
4th data line 2nd entry: time at which conversion should takes place (here it is at the beginning of the analysis).
