Loss of Contact

This is an Abaqus/Explicit analysis animated in Physics Simulation Review (PSR). PSR allowed me to quickly see what happened without having to deal with a large data transfer. I saw something like this on the Hydraulic Press YouTube channel. I was able to get the ball to squirt out by having a low friction coefficient. Changing friction, plate thickness, rammer location, etc., is much easier in a simulation than in real life!
