Pendulum II — Welcome to LS-DYNA Examples

Home » Knowledge Base » Simple Examples » Intro by Klaus Weimar » Misc » Pendulum II

A pendulum with two colliding blocks is calculated. The pendulum is modeled with beam elements of elastic behavior. The blocks are modeled with solid elements of elastic behavior and one of it is given an initial velocity. This input deck shows other variants of *DEFORMABLE_TO_RIGID option.
