Explicit Dynamics -ANSYS- Impact Attenuator Crash Simulation

Its been quite some time since my last post. But nevertheless, I have got something amazing to share in this post.
I have recently been working on my final year engineering project which involves designing an Impact Attenuator for passenger vehicles. As it is my final year project worth 6 credits, the work needed to be convincing.
So, I got to know about ANSYS analysis software for obtaining worthwhile results for my project and thus began the most arduous month of my life with 3-4 hours of calculations running on the PC, frequent hair pulling and consumption of head ache pills.

But finally, after 28 days of torture got the desired result.

So here, I have shared some pics of the analysis and a link to the video on youtube. Enjoy!

P.S. Leave a comment for any queries.

I sketch too!!

Hello people!

Sorry, for not posting anything for so long, a bit caught up with studies and stuff. I'm working on a few designs and would post them as soon as possible. As of now i wanted to share a sketch of a self-designed car. The sketch only shows the front view of the car. I have keen interest in automobiles and this sketch motivates me to continue learning and working to succeed in this line.

Any comments on this!!?
