  A wooden post, with a hole, is hit by a bar and is supposed to snap-off.
  $
  $$  The bar is rigid and extra mass (via density) is added to
  $$  give it enough energy to snap the post.
  $
  $$  This model uses constant stress solid element formulation (default: type 1)
  $$  for the posts and default hourglass viscosity type 1.
