Console of washing machine is one of the main important part of the machine that provides an interaction bridge between the human and the machine by human machine interface The console design should be such that it should be robust enough to pass the standard safety test during new product development. Ball impact is one of the test to check the robustness by impacting it on the console part at various locations. The ball is 25 cm in diameter and weighs about 10.5 kg after it is filled with sand to 75 percent of its volume. The main objective is to simulate the impact behaviour and correlate using the experimentation. The simulation is been done using the LS-Dyna and Hypermesh software and discrete elements are used inside the ball to replicate the sand particles. The experiment was performed on actual model and acceleration results are very close to that of simulation.
