Events / Abaqus Users' Conference
Advanced Seminars
On Monday, May 19, 2008, SIMULIA will offer several advanced seminars that will provide in-depth instruction on the theory and application of the latest Abaqus capabilities.
The cost for these seminars is $425 with the exception of Multiscale Computations: from Theory to Practice which will cost $525 and will be taught by a guest lecturer, please see below for details.
Fees include seminar attendance, lecture notes for the selected seminar, and lunch.
Practical Use of Multiphysics Simulation for Industrial Applications
Multiphysics analysis continues to gain greater acceptance in the industry. As a result, companies have evolved their simulation methods to a point where they are able to make fewer approximations. During this seminar you will learn how to analyze a variety of complex multiphysics problems using SIMULIA products. You will gain experience through examples of industrial applications including: fluid-structure interaction (FSI), thermal-mechanical, structural-acoustic, and structural-piezoelectric interactions. Special emphasis will be given to the new Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) approach in Abaqus/Explicit, the newest multiphysics capability in Abaqus. We will also provide you with details on using the new Abaqus/CAE FSI interface that simplifies the process of defining coupled FSI models with third-party computational fluid dynamics products
Solve Challenging Contact Problems with Abaqus
Contact behavior plays a key role in manufacturing processes, dynamic impact events, and various mechanical systems involving gears, bearings, seals, etc. Analyzing contact interactions is essential for understanding and solving many engineering problems. Engineers at SIMULIA have developed significant technical capabilities and guidelines for solving challenging contact problems with Abaqus. By attending this seminar, you will learn the latest techniques and strategies that you can use in your daily simulation activities to make effective use of the contact modeling capabilities. Some topics to be highlighted include methods to efficiently define contact models, stabilization methods, accurately predicting contact stresses, and recent enhancements to the contact capabilities in Abaqus.
Managing Simulation Data, Processes, and Applications with SIMULIA SLM
The use of Abaqus and other simulation technologies has proven to be an effective way for companies to drive innovation, evaluate product performance, ensure safety, and gain insight into real-world behavior more efficiently and effectively than testing physical prototypes alone. However, often the methods, results, and knowleged generated in this simulation activity is often simply “lost”, or at least not captured and therefore cannot be reused. This has led to a growing industry acknowledgement of the need for Simulation Lifecycle Management solutions. By attending this full day seminar, you will learn how you can use the new SIMULIA SLM product suite to manage and share the data, methods, and results associated with your simulations. The seminar will provide detailed information on technology and methods to integrate and control the execution of simulation applications, carry out operations such as query and version control, administer access privileges, and perform and review simulations in a distributed, collaborative environment. You will also learn how to use the SIMULIA SLM Connectors Framework to deploy and execute simulation authoring applications developed by your company, SIMULIA, Dassault Systèmes, and third parties, including currently available Connectors for Abaqus, CATIA, Nastran, HyperMesh, AcuSolve, and STAR-CD.
Multiscale Computations: from Theory to Practice
This seminar is a practical application course that offers attendees insight into fundamental multiscale principles and their industrial utilization, as well as a multiscale design paradigm. It will provide a theoretical overview of various multiscale technologies, with a focus on technology implemented with Abaqus including its theory and application to various industrial problems. The course also provide details on a simulation environment for analysis and design of structural systems made of composites, polycrystals, concrete, soil, and other materials involving microstructure. Additionally, an approach for the integration of the multiscale design tools in a commercial finite element engine and an optimization code for experimental calibration (parameter identification) will be highlighted. Applications of multiscale technologies in the aerospace and automotive industries, as well as in the emerging fields of nanotechnology and biotechnology, will be discussed. The course will be delivered by Jacob Fish, the Rosalind and John J. Redfern, Jr. ’33 Chaired Professor in Engineering and Director, Multiscale Science and Engineering Center, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY.
