Hi Ian,

Thank you for the tips! I will do this now. Regarding the S-ALE approach, I have used that quite extensively. However, I am trying to use the *MAT_JOHNSON_HOLMQUIST_CERAMICS model (JH2) for the projectile which I've set as the Lagrange Part. When I tried a pure S-ALE, I got on error saying that the ceramics model was not supported. For completeness, the target is aluminum with *MAT_JOHNSON_COOK and I set that (along with Vacuum) as my ALE parts in my part list.

So, in general, I am looking to model a brittle ceramic impacting a ductile metal at roughly 1 km/s. What approach would recommend?

Thanks,

Peter
