    simulation data please :)

    I suspect that the barrel dimensions will come into play as well as the action rigidity and how the force is coupled into the stock. I can make the barrel profile whatever I want and a damping mass can be simulated as desired to see how it affects things. I chose to start with a straight...

    simulation data please :)

    Here's a video of the preliminary simulation with an unrealistic pressure curve. I hope to implement the realistic data soon. This video is a short clip from the simulation which illustrates the dynamic wave patterns produced and the traveling wave reflecting from the barrel muzzle and...

    simulation data please :)

    It seems like there are three different Max pressures and at least two different barrel times shown in different locations in the pictures of quickloads results. Can someone offer some insight into quickloads please?

    simulation data please :)

    This is great! I have the computer working to render a vid of the initial results. I started with a 24 inch barrel, because that's what my 30-06 has. But the pressure curve is something I made up. I'll try to post the results when I get it in a proper format. I can easily change the chamber to...

    simulation data please :)

    This is my first post on the hide, so I hope this isn't going to be too out of place. I've been reading about reloading, optimum charge weight, optimum barrel time, etc... And I thought it would be interesting to simulate the physics of a rifle discharge with a finite element model. If this...
