  I am no expert on this, but when I tried to run this from the '.liml file Mecway could not find the step files which were off on another drive (not mine)

  Hi Mike,
  
  Thank you very much for your reply. I didn´t commented this, but now that you say is possible to be the solution, the analysis is running in a competer but no on another. I am going to check if that is the reason.

  Hello JJ. The initial velocity is only applied to the surface of one part. The rest of it defaults to zero velocity and that quickly averages out to very slow in the solution.
  
  You can also make a TYPE424 contact using the GUI contact item if you don't want to enter the card by hand.

  Thank you very much Victor. Can you please recomend how to define this by the GUI?
  
  On the other hand, I have moedeled from 0, and doesn´t work. I think could be possible because the OpenRadioss release, I tried to download the recomended on the Mecway but I can´t find in the web. Can anyone share a link for downloading please?
  
  Thank you!

  This is my set up in the first pic. I messed around with ur model a little, appleid the velocity to the whole brick and change the contact and it all seems fine although I also locked the shield in the vertical plane (not sure what u had in mind there). I slowed down the projectile to watch the interaction more easily. Video in this link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fbUw5rns8W_WRTFOWkrG6K_B-jTis1DL/view?usp=drive_link
