Importance of Plasticity for GISSMO Calibration in Automotive Safety Applications

GISSMO has become an incredibly flexible tool since its inception. An overview is not to be presented here owing to the fact it is coved extensively by other authors. This body of work aims to show that even using simple techniques and features a robust GISSMO card is possible using only *MAT_024 and *MAT_ADD_EROSION, that can be useful in automotive safety, even with larger type 16 shell elements 3-6mm in edge length for gauges approx. 1-2mm. 3-6mm quad elements are a very useful size for automotive structures and allows accurate meshing of holes, flanges and joints for example.
