Hi ... Iam currently simulating a ballistic impact phenomenon on an armor composite using ABAQUS. I have given the parameters and the corresponding damage model. However to determine the extent of the armor performance I need to calculate the residual velocity of the striker on the time of impact.
But when i probe the value on the projectile, iam not getting a variation of the velocity and the graph obtained has a constant value of initial velocity for the entire time scale.
But i can see colour variation when the projectile impacts the armor.
How can I obtain the velocity of the striker for the full time scale.
Iam attaching the obtained profile of the striker
Hi,
You can create the projectile as a rigid body and read the velocity from the reference point that is located on the projectile.
Sayyed Behzad Abdellahi sir...i have tried that but it is giving the same graph which i have attached....
If you send me cae file, please attach jnl file simultaneously.
Yes sir... I have sent the CAE and the Jnl file... to your email...Thanks a lot...
You can also use different approaches to model damage in the composite plates. more information:

Hello Veeturi Varun , I am currently facing this same issue. Could you please share how exactly you were able to obtain the residual velocity of the projectile? TIA
