5.5 Improved boundary behavior based on ghost particle method

Product: Abaqus/Explicit  

Benefits: Boundary behavior based on the ghost particle method provides improved accuracy for flow-type problems.

Description: The default interaction between SPH particles and Lagrangian surfaces is based on node-to-surface contact. Due to the lack of neighboring support for SPH particles close to Lagrangian boundaries, the integration accuracy for those SPH particles may be negatively affected. When SPH particles are close to Lagrangian boundaries, you can now specify surface behavior based on the ghost particle method to create virtual particles that help improve the simulation accuracy.
