The next presentation in the monthly Webinar series will focus on importing geometry into Abaqus/CAE.  In current practice many Finite Element Analysis begin with geometry imported from CAD.  Whilst the reliability of CAD import has improved over the years, interoperability is not perfect and users frequently encounter warning and error messages during the import process.  […]

In this webinar we will look at three of these modelling techniques; SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics), CEL (Coupled Eulerian Lagrangian) and DEM (Discrete Element Modelling).  For each technique the webinar will walk through how they are implemented in Abaqus and consider practical examples demonstrating when each technique is most appropriate. As well as the traditional […]

The next in the webinar series will cover sequential and fully coupled thermal-stress analyses using Abaqus. The three modes of heat transfer, conduction, convection and radiation will be covered, along with how these are defined in Abaqus/CAE. Frequently a thermal analysis is coupled to a stress analysis in order to determine the impact of thermal […]

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 […]
