Model Results

Click on the "Model Results" to see a tabular listing of output from the model generator. The first three columns provide the axial location of each node and the OD and ID of the case at the node. In the case of a multi-material cartridge case the Mat'l ID column is used to specify which material properties apply to each element. The ZoneInd column, Last Zone Node Indicator, will display a "1" at the transition from one zone to another. The final columns contain the static and dynamic friction coefficients.

You'll note that the first two nodes have zeros for many of the parameters. These two nodes represent the breech bolt and case base (Zone 1 of model) and do not have the same data set as the ring elements in zones 2-4.
