SIMULIA 'Introduction to Abaqus'
This course provides an overview of the fundamentals of FE analysis using Abaqus, in addition to how to use Abaqus/CAE. It teaches you how to solve linear and nonlinear problems, submit and monitor analysis jobs and view simulation results using the interactive interface of Abaqus. Delegates will also learn how to run, monitor and troubleshoot analysis, how to solve stress-displacement problems and will gain an insight into the advanced features of the code.
Description
The course covers the following topics:
Linear and nonlinear structural analysis
Static, dynamic and heat transfer analysis
Material models: linear elasticity, hyperelasticity and metal plasticity.
Loads and constraints
Modeling contact
Selecting the appropriate elements for your problem
Feature-based modelling, parts and assemblies
Working with CAD geometry and imported meshes
Mesh generation techniques
Creating, submitting and monitoring analysis jobs
Viewing simulation results
Restarting an analysis
Course Prerequisites
New Abaqus users who will primarily use Abaqus/CAE to create their models should attend this seminar. No previous knowledge of Abaqus is required, but some basic knowledge of finite elements and continuum mechanics is desirable. Also, some familiarity with interactive modelling is helpful but not required.
