Abaqus/Explicit: Advanced Topics
Objective:
The course emphasizes practical skills and techniques
that are needed for analyses with Abaqus/Explicit. The
following topics are included:
- The explicit dynamics method
- General contact
- Adaptive meshing
- Automatic mass scaling for impact problems
- Automatic mass scaling for quasi-static problems
- Using Abaqus/Explicit and Abaqus/Standard together to solve difficult problems
- Detecting and correcting hourglassing
- Modeling high-strain-rate deformation and failure
- Managing large models
The course uses examples derived from actual industrial
applications to reinforce the concepts and issues discussed in
the lectures.
Who should attend:
This course is ideal for relatively new Abaqus/Explicit users and Abaqus/Standard users who want to learn Abaqus/Explicit.

After forming the joint between the plates, subsequent analysis
steps remove the die and punch and determine the shear capacity
of the clinched joint.
