RMB = Right Mouse Button Selection D&D = Drag and Drop = Hold Left Mouse Button down on item while dragging it to new location and then release it (i.e., Copy or Move)
Throughout these Workshops, the procedures shown are not always the only way to accomplish the desired tasks, so feel free to investigate other methods via the documentation when outside of this course
The workshops consistently use RMB in the Outline tree to access options whenever possible
Often these options can also be accessed through the Context Toolbar Sometimes these options can also be accessed using RMB in the View area

Step 17 AUTODYN Solve Executes Automatically 17.a After executing the previous step, an AUTODYN window will appear. Press Run and the simulation set up in Explicit Dynamics (ANSYS) will start to solve However, the solution ends prematurely because mesh distortions produce a degenerate element We need to add Erosion and re-run the simulation
