Product Overview:
This video provides a step-by-step simulation of a ball (filled with air) impacting water in Abaqus. The ball is modeled using shell elements with a hyper-elastic material, while internal and external pressures, along with the air properties, are defined using the Fluid Cavity technique. Water is represented using Eulerian elements with the Us-Up equation. The Explicit procedure is used to capture the dynamic interaction, where the ball penetrates the water, causing sudden changes in fluid cavity pressure and volume.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to model the dynamics of a ball impacting water. You will:

• Create the Ball and Water Models: Design the geometry for both the ball and the water fluid cavity.
• Material Properties Definition: Assign appropriate properties to the water (density, viscosity) and the rubber ball (hyperelastic properties).
• Dynamic Simulation Setup: Establish dynamic steps tailored for the impact scenario.
• Results Analysis: Visualize the impact dynamics, including splash generation and wave mechanics.
