ES-2re Extension Forces

Fig. 20: Force Transducer Contacts of Rib extensions

 

Three *CONTACT_FORCE_TRANSDUCER definitions are used in the model to measure impact forces on the rib extensions of the ES-2re model. The title option is applied to find the interface number in th RCFORC file.

Remark: Renumbering or adding further contact definitions in the run may change the numbering and thus has to be considered in post-processing.
