Dynamic simulation of a Khopesh

Project Support
1

The simulation result are not correct, and I can’t find the solution. The setup of the simulation is as follows:
The khopesh will move at the velocity of 42.46 m/s;
The khopesh Is going to strike the Balistic Gel 20;
The results i want to see are the stress on the blade and its behaviour during the inpact.
Thank you for your time and help.

It is done, the project is public. I require help to inprove the last simulation setup. Thank you for your help.

Hi again @pgalamba!

I completed the first simulation of your model which can be viewed here: Khopesh Simulation

Feel free to give me your feedback and make sure to check the result control items!

This simulation was killing me. Thank’s alot for the help.

Hi @pgalamba,

What is the purpose of this simulation? Are you interested in the behavior of the ballistics gel or the Khopesh?

Thanks @jousefm, I missed that.

In that case I think some assumptions about the support around the handle (from being held) need to be made. I will make a copy of the simulation to demonstrate.
