This is ideal for modeling problems that are transient in nature, involve large deformation, are contact dominated (Multi-body), involve impact, and\/or have highly non-linear material behavior. Loads can be applied as a function of time, and results are output at actual instantaneous time points during the event, rather than at arbitrary increments in a static analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Nonlinear Static Stress analyses, Event Simulation studies can account for material and geometric nonlinearities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Event Simulation Examples<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following list contains a few examples for which an Event Simulation might be appropriate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Snap-Fit Assemblies<\/li><li>Drop Test<\/li><li>Impact Test<\/li><li>Crash Simulation<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Key Event Simulation Features<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Linear and rotational motion<\/strong> \u2013 Depending upon the application, you can simulate linear as well as rotational motion through Prescribed Translation\/Rotation inputs as well as Initial Linear\/Angular velocity inputs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div style=\"width: 1512px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-13263-1\" width=\"1512\" height=\"720\" loop preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/helmet.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/helmet.mp4\">https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/helmet.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Contact dominated problems (Multibody)<\/strong> \u2013 You can automatically generate contact conditions for your Event Simulation study and modify their definition using the Contact Manager. You can also specify friction behavior between the different parts (default friction coefficient is zero) or specify that the contact surfaces are bonded together (default behavior is non-bonded\/separable surface pairs). The contact modeling in Autodesk Explicit is completely general and does not require surfaces to be near each other. Autodesk Explicit solver continually monitors and tracks the proximity of the various free surfaces of the model, though all the large deformations and rotations to enforce the kinematic compliance of the parts when collisions are detected. One of the most versatile features of the contact detection algorithm is that it will automatically rebuild the surfaces of the model as material erosion occurs, and new surfaces are exposed due to element deletion.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div style=\"width: 1512px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-13263-2\" width=\"1512\" height=\"720\" loop preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/axechop.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/axechop.mp4\">https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/axechop.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Rigid Bodies<\/strong>\u202f\u2013 With a single declaration, you can specify that a part of the model is rigid. As a result, Autodesk Explicit solver will automatically compute the center of mass and all the rigid body properties for the part (e.g., mass moments of inertia and total mass) and compute the response of the part using rigid body dynamics equations. Since the part is rigid, it will not deform locally, meaning there will be no stress or strain in the part. Contact conditions will automatically be maintained between parts irrespective of whether or not a part is rigid. Best of all, rigid parts do not participate in the determination of the stable time step.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Rigid-Bodies-1024x498.jpg\" alt=\"rigid-bodies\" class=\"wp-image-13268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Rigid-Bodies-1024x498.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Rigid-Bodies-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Rigid-Bodies-768x373.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Rigid-Bodies.jpg 1078w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Non-linear material behavior and Large deformations<\/strong> \u2013 You can use Event Simulation to solve highly non-linear problems.

This is done by merely defining maximum value for the maximum principal strain that the material cannot exceed. Once the user-defined criteria are satisfied at a finite location in the model, the Autodesk Explicit solver removes the material at that location and deletes the corresponding element from the mesh. As elements are deleted from the model, Autodesk Explicit will automatically rebuild the contact surfaces where new material is exposed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"824\" height=\"318\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Element-Deletion.jpg\" alt=\"material-deletion\" class=\"wp-image-13270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Element-Deletion.jpg 824w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Element-Deletion-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Element-Deletion-768x296.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 824px) 100vw, 824px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Quasi-static analysis<\/strong>\u202f\u2013 By Switching the &#8220;Movement&#8221; from Dynamic to Quasi-static (no inertia), you can obtain an approximate Quasi-static solution using the Explicit solver in Event Simulation. To get an approximate quasi-static solution in our explicit dynamics algorithm, we seek to make the magnitudes of the kinetic energy and viscous dissipation in the solution small compared to the magnitude of the internal energy and external work. Autodesk Explicit uses a proprietary algorithm to determine a duration for the simulation that is long enough that the kinetic energy is a small fraction of internal energy. The quasi-static algorithm will automatically scale all the time-dependent load curves for prescribed displacement boundary conditions and loads to fit in the time duration for the quasi-static solution. You are not required to &#8220;guess&#8221; a duration as Autodesk Explicit will determine this automatically.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"824\" height=\"318\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Quasi-Static-Analysis.jpg\" alt=\"quasi-static-analysis\" class=\"wp-image-13271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Quasi-Static-Analysis.jpg 824w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Quasi-Static-Analysis-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Quasi-Static-Analysis-768x296.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 824px) 100vw, 824px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fusion-360-answers-the-what-if\"><strong>Fusion 360 Answers the &#8220;What If&#8221;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>All simulation attempts to answer the ultimate engineering question &#8220;What-if&#8221;.\u00a0 Now with Event Simulation, Fusion 360 can help you get your next project done, right the first time, without that nagging &#8220;What if&#8221; question hanging over your head.\u00a0 Even better, this study is solved using cloud computing, freeing up your computer for other tasks.
