Step 1 Create the Project
• Start ANSYS Workbench
• Create an Explicit Dynamics Analysis system by double‐
clicking on the system

Step 2 Define Material Data
• Edit Engineering Data to add new materials
– Double‐click on Engineering Data cell
– Select the last slot to add new materials:
• Soda_Can
• Water
• Soda_Can_Failure

Step 2 Define Material Data
• Add the following Physical Properties by dragging
and dropping them to the specified material
– Soda_Can and Soda_Can_Failure
• Density
• Isotropic Elasticity
• Bilinear Isotropic Hardening
– Soda_Can_Failure Only (additional)
• Plastic Strain Failure
– Water
• Density
• Isotropic Elasticity

Step 2 Define Material Data
• Material property data of Soda_Can
6 © 2011 ANSYS, Inc. March 9, 2012
Step 2 Define Material Data
• Material property data of Soda_Can_Failure
7 © 2011 ANSYS, Inc. March 9, 2012
Step 2 Define Material Data
• Material property data of Water
Poisson’s ratio = 0.49999999

Step 2 Define Material Data
• Return to the Project Schematic
• Save the project.
– Use the name “crush_soda_can”

Step 3 Import the Geometry
• Right‐click on the Geometry cell to import the geometry
file named “filled_soda_can.agdb”
10 © 2011 ANSYS, Inc. March 9, 2012
Step 4 Specify Materials
• Right‐click on the Model cell and then Edit to open
Mechanical
• Define the properties for
Soda, Punch, and Die

Step 4 Specify Materials
• Define Soda Can properties
12 © 2011 ANSYS, Inc. March 9, 2012
Step 5 Specify Contacts
• Select Body Interactions
– Set Shell Thickness Factor
to 1.0
13 © 2011 ANSYS, Inc. March 9, 2012
Step 6 Mesh the Geometry
• Right‐click on Mesh and then
click on Generate Mesh
14 © 2011 ANSYS, Inc. March 9, 2012
Step 7 Edit Analysis Settings
• Specify End Time to 6E‐4 s
• Change the Scope to Eulerian
Bodies only (there is no need
to extend the Euler mesh to
cover the punch and die)
• Reduce the Total Cells from
250000 to 25000 (this is a
simple model, so a very fine
Euler mesh is not needed)

Step 8 Set Boundary Conditions
• Right‐click on Explicit Dynamics to insert Fixed Support and
then scope it to the Die
16 © 2011 ANSYS, Inc. March 9, 2012
Step 9 Set Boundary Conditions
• Right‐click Explicit Dynamics to insert Displacement and then
scope it to the Punch
17 © 2011 ANSYS, Inc. March 9, 2012
Step 9 Set Boundary Conditions
• Set up Displacement for X/Y/Z Components
• Enter Tabular Data as follows
18 © 2011 ANSYS, Inc. March 9, 2012
Step 10 Define Result Set
• Right‐click on Solution to insert Directional Velocity
(Orientation: X Axis)
19 © 2011 ANSYS, Inc. March 9, 2012
Step 11 Run Explicit Dynamics
• Save the project
• Click Solve to run the Analysis
• Choose Solution Information to see progress
20 © 2011 ANSYS, Inc. March 9, 2012
Step 11 Post‐Process the Results
The X velocity plot should look like this:
