Training ManualSesame Library• The Sesame library is not an EOS but a table

format for storing state data

– Contains data for over 200 materials including metals, minerals, polymers and mixtures

– Most of the tables have data for very wide ranges of density and internal energy, but were developed for particular applications where a particular range was required

– Use with caution

• The Sesame Library is US export-controlled

– Not included in standard distribution

– Library can be obtained from ANSYS if required permissions are provided

– Can also be obtained directly from LANL

• A collection of published material models and data is supplied with AUTODYN

• Accessed through ‘Material’, ‘Load’

• Materials can be sorted by Name, EOS, Strength or failure model

• All materials have an EOS defined, most a strength model and only a few have a failure model defined

• You can add to or modify data in the supplied library or create new libraries

• Data is converted into current units when it is retrieved

Training ManualWhat Material Models to use?• How do we choose a set of material modelling options for a particular

material ?

– In terms of material itself, it is relatively easy to identify the basic category that a material lies in

• Liquid or Solid?• Isotropic or Anisotropic/Orthotropic ?• Inert or Reactive?• Porous or Not ?• Ductile or Brittle ?• Pressure Dependant Strength (cohesive) or not ?

– The actual set of models used however are highly dependant on the application and the available material data

– Start with simple models and progress, as required, to more complex models

• Lets you understand how parameters influence response and which parameters are critical for good results

Training ManualGlobal and Material Erosion• Erosion is a numerical mechanism for the

automatic removal (deletion) of elements during a simulation.

– Removes very distorted elements before they become inverted (degenerate).

– Ensures time step remains reasonably large.– Ensures solutions can continue to the End Time. – Can be used to allow simulation of material fracture, cutting

and penetration

• In Explicit Dynamics (ANSYS), an erosion model can be specified globally

– Covered in the Explicit Dynamics training course

• In AUTODYN, an Erosion model can be specified for each material

– Erosion is not a physical effect (or material property). It is amechanism to combat mesh distortion

• There are five options available to initiate erosion of elements in AUTODYN

– Geometric Strain– Plastic Strain– Timestep– Failure– User Erosion

• Program user subroutine EXEROD
