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 […]

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. […]
