: Finite element method (FEM) is a numerical method for solving a differential or integral equation. It has been applied to a number of physical problems, where the governing differential equations are available. The Ansys explicit dynamics suite enables you to capture the physics of short- duration events for products that undergo highly nonlinear, transient dynamic forces. This paper studies the impact of bullet with aluminium alloy plate fixed on all sides. Simulations were carried out to study effect of bullet impact angle and thickness of aluminium alloy plates. These simulations were performed through Ansys Workbench and the impact velocity was 1500 m/s in the test. Explicit dynamics simulations are addressed by three products in the Ansys suite, and the right tool for the job depends on user needs and applications: ANSYS AUTODYN was the software used in this analysis. The aim of the present paper is to determine whether velocity or distance is the key factor to determine that the bullet can pierce the Armor. The deformation is done on Plate and Bullet. For the Analysis two materials are been used: AL2024-T4 for Plate & Steel 1006 for the Bullet
