Abaqus provides a wide range of user subroutines and utility routines, but what do we mean when we talk about user subroutines in Abaqus? An example can be seen above. Imagine you have a laminated composite plate in which damage occurs when subjected to in-plane compression. The...
There are different heat transfer and thermal analyses available that help you predict the behavior of your product during the development phase. In this blog post you will find a description of the different procedures to solve these simulations. Thermal simulations with Finite Element Analysis There are...
Mass scaling for Abaqus / Explicit Abaqus/Explicit analyses have the tendency to require long simulation times in order to complete. Mass scaling can speed up the simulation without sacrificing simulation accuracy. The explicit dynamics procedure is mainly used to solve two classes of problems: transient dynamic response...
This post explain how to download Abaqus for free and how to create an Academic passport on the 3DS Academy to have access to the training material. There is an Abaqus Student Edition that is available for personal and educational use free of charge to students, educators,...
HyperSizer Pro is software for the aerospace industry, intended for detailed stress analysis and structural sizing optimization. The goal of this post is to explore the possibilities of HyperSizer Pro to optimize a typical metallic aerospace structure. In this particular example, a simplified interstage model...
In this post you can download the full customer story of Zonneveld ingenieurs, experts on FEA for earthquakes and one of our 4RealSim customers, and how they are using Abaqus to investigate geologically-caused earthquakes on buildings in Groningen. It goes without saying that nobody likes earthquakes. The ground...
