      1)The Drop Test Wizard can only be used for a 3D analysis 2)You cannot use an implicit system to pre-stress the geometry when using the Drop Test Wizard. 3)When a geometry is rotated within Mechanical using the Rotate Geometry object, any present mesh information will be cleared and the mesh will have to be generated again. 4)When a geometry object is added in Mechanical using the Construction Geometry object, the entire mesh present in the analysis system will be cleared and the mesh will have to be generated again. 5)Mesh penetration is only tested at the end of the wizard execution. It will not be tested if you modify the Rotate Geometry angles or if you regenerate the mesh. 6)The Drop Test Wizard is not available on Linux. The Drop Height initial condition may be added manually to an analysis on Linux. 7)If you modify the thickness of any Surface Bodies after the wizard has been run, there is no check to ensure that the change in thickness has resulted in any penetrations of the geometry with the Drop Test Ground Plane. 8)You are advised not to rename any of the objects created by the Drop Test Wizard as any subsequent runs of the Drop Test Wizard may result in undesired behavior. 9)If you have multiple Explicit Dynamics systems in one project that share the Model cell, then the Drop Test Wizard can only be used on the first Explicit Dynamics system that appears in the project tree in Mechanical.
