Simulation Steps:

1) Make a bullet and plate to be tested individually as separate parts in


SolidWorks.
2) Open both parts in in assembly. Define a reference plane 0.5 mm ahead of
plate and mate it coincident with the bullet tip.
3) Save the assembly file with extension .IGES.
4) Start ANSYS Workbench, go to explicit dynamics, define engineering data by
right clicking it as edit.
5) Go to engineering data sources, then click on explicit materials (don’t check
it otherwise, it will be opened in edit mode). From Outline window select
your desired materials (Aluminum, Lead and Steel).
6) Click exit and go back to Workbench. Click on Geometry, edit, import
geometry, and click on .iges file previously created.
7) Click on model, define material of both solid parts. Click on Mesh, Generate
Mesh. Make sure the mesh is uniform.
8) Click on explicit dynamics, insert velocity, select bullet object, and define
value as 800m/s.
9) Click explicit dynamics, insert fixed geometry, select the side faces of plate
to pluck it from each side.
10) Click on Solution and add stress and deformation results.
11) Select analysis, put on the end time value. Iterate it by solving and getting a
value of end time if an error is occurred.
12) If everything goes well, numerical model will be solved, and animation
could be observed from bottom.
