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.
