Arbitrary shaped rigid surfaces ? Rigid material ? Rigid Body Element RIGID BODY DEFINITION RIGID SURFACE - RIGID Rigid surface geometry defined by a arbitrary shaped multi-faceted surface Rigid surface properties must be defined by the user - center of gravity - mass - moments of inertia Rigid surface initial velocity can be defined Example: Rigid 25 which geometry is defined by surface 333, has a mass of 200 kg, center of gravity is at (1., 1., 1.) and has moments of inertia of 1.e5 Initially the rigid surface has a velocity of 100 m/s in z- direction.

Material treated as one rigid element No matter how many elements and properties are used to make up the rigid body, in the solution it is treated as a single element They are very cheap to use Name will become: MRmaterial number ? MATRIG properties can be defined by the user Normally, the user would simply replace a material entry like DMATEP by MATRIG, after which MSC.Dytran calculates the geometric properties of the rigid body from the density or mass and geometry The user can also supply center of gravity, mass, moments of inerti
