Multi physics technologies
CEL – Coupled Eularian Lagrangian
This technology expands the scope of Abaqus beyond the usual finite element domain, allowing, complex fluid structural interaction problems and other challenges to be solved. CEL combines fluid domains with normal explicit structural elements.
Multi physics technologies
SPH – Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics
SPH uses a mesh free particle approach, where objects can be be either fluid or solid. These particles can interact with traditional finite element models. This approach allows complex FSI, Fluid Structure Interactions to be modelled, as well as high strain and other extreme events that challenge more traditional modelling techniques. This technology can be used for: Birdstrikes, ballistics, hydrodynamic loadings, forming, mixing, forging, cutting, explosions.
Multi physics technologies
DEM – Discrete Element Modelling
DEM is used for modelling of interactions between large numbers of individual particles. The particles are treated as rigid particles. DEM is different from SPH which models continuum materials.
This technology can be used for stone and rock handling, sorting devices for granular materials and mixers.
