06 Aug Finite Element Analysis for forensic investigations

Posted at 08:51h in Uncategorized by 4RealSim

Forensic investigations Sadly enough, accidents happen. Car crashes, collapsing buildings due to earthquakes, construction failures (e.g. World Trade Center 5 failure or the Minneapolis I-35W Bridge) and other disasters can lead to the ultimate question: how could this happen? This question is an important question to...

03 May Abaqus Error Indicator

Posted at 10:15h in Uncategorized by 4RealSim

Introducing Abaqus/Standard Error indicators In a displacement-based finite element (FE) analysis, the stress is usually computed from the displacement field in a postprocessing step. This directly calculated stress is obtained from the derivative of the displacement field, leading inevitably to a lower-order less-accurate field as compared...

20 Jan Discrete Element Modeling in Abaqus

Posted at 11:34h in Uncategorized by 4RealSim

What is DEM? The Discrete Element Method is a relatively simple method in which discrete spherical particles interact with each other and with other surfaces in an Abaqus/Explicit analysis. Granular or particulate matter can easily be simulated using DEM; each DEM particle represents a separate grain,...
