Parameter matrix demonstrating the split level design of experiments simulation conditions. Figure 1. Model diagram illustrating the geometry, orientation, and motion of the deformable and passing bodies corresponding to adjustable parameters for the design of experiments analysis. Also illustrated are areas of interest pertaining to the approach surface (along x-axis), near and far side surfaces (along y-axis), and the out-of-plane surface deformation (along z-axis).
