Example: forming a channel in Abaqus/Explicit

In this example you will solve the channel forming problem using Abaqus/Explicit. You will then compare the results from the Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit analyses.

You will make modifications to the model created in Contact for the Abaqus/Standard analysis so that you are able to run it in Abaqus/Explicit. These modifications include adding density to the material model, changing the element library, and changing the steps. Before running the Abaqus/Explicit analysis, you will use the frequency extraction procedure in Abaqus/Standard to determine the time period required to obtain a proper quasi-static response.
