In this month’s webinar we will be covering residual stress and springback. We will look at their definition and implications on FEA, how to deal with springback efficiently in Abaqus and the transfer of residual stresses and deformed parts between Abaqus steps and solvers. Often the forming of metallic parts involves large quasi-static deformations and […]

Sometimes you may wish to simulate a process where various parts interact with one another. In such cases it is often impossible to rely on predefined loads and boundary conditions since the exact points of contact are dependent on the solution. Including contact in your simulation can be a more realistic way to represent loadings. […]

Problem solving and simulation within the Oil and Gas industry use approaches that are generally familiar to other more mainstream mechanical engineers, but often require the use of specific, often codified, processes and tools. This webinar will look at some of the tools that are available within Abaqus that allow an in-depth insight into the […]

In the past, the reliability of some products were assured by keeping the mass of those relatively high. When computers started being a tool available for all, engineers began using them to calculate what is the likelyhood of failure. With this approach, weight of products was reduced and theirs reliability increased (or at least kept […]

This month’s webinar will cover meshing of native geometry in Abaqus. A short section on processing geometry to improve mesh quality will be followed by a discussion of the various meshing techniques available to the user. The webinar will conclude with a brief introduction to the tools available for working with non-native meshes in Abaqus/CAE […]
