Circuit Board Drop TestANSYS Explicit DynamicsWorkshop Goal and Procedure Workshop Goal and Procedure Goal:
Simulate the bonded/breakable contacts in the drop test simulation of a circuit board
Procedure:
Create an Explicit Dynamics (ANSYS) Analysis System Project
Select the units system and define the material properties
Import, view, and mesh the circuit board geometry
Define analysis settings, boundary condition, and initial condition
Initiate the solution (AUTODYN - STR) and review the resultsStep 1 – Create the Project SchematicStep 1 – Create the Project SchematicStart ANSYS Workbench and follow the sequenced steps using the abbreviations shown below:

Since Edit is the default action, double-clicking on the Model cell is also acceptable here.RMBSC5.b Select the MKS Units system
Recall that Mechanical is not native in Workbench, so the Units here may not match the Project Units
Note: Although the unit system used for data entry and post-processing is the MKS system, the actual unit system used by the AUTODYN solver is the mm-mg-ms system, because it provides higher accuracy.
