This months webinar will look at importing geometry from CAD into Abaqus and associated issues with ensuring that a good quality mesh can be generated. CAD models are frequently used as the starting point for geometry creation and can be imported into Abaqus using a number of CAD specific and non-native formats. The use of […]
This months webinar will present advanced contact modelling methods and look at the related convergence issues. It will be held on Friday 30th June. Contact is the most common source of nonlinearities and one of the major concerns for any finite element analyst. Sudden contact changes lead to abrupt increases or reduction of the stiffness […]
This webinar will provide an overview of some of the capabilities within FE-Safe, looking at the more general functionality within the software and showing how this fits in your current simulation process, focusing on the ease of use of the platform. The webinar will then continue on to discuss the capabilities of weld modelling using […]
Obtaining converged solutions for highly nonlinear simulations can sometimes be challenging. Difficulties can arise, especially in simulations involving contact, complicated material models and geometricall unstable behavior. Many years of practical experience in understanding and resolving convergence issues have been condensed into this course. What will you learn? Upon completion of this course you will be […]
September’s webinar will present the analysis types available in Abaqus, for evaluating the structural response under buckling, post buckling and collapse. Buckling is the sudden collapse of a structural member under axial compressive loading. The importance of accurately predicting buckling loads during design is paramount, since these loads are on most occasions lower than the […]
