Automotive Powertrain Assembly Analysis with Abaqus
Objective:
The engine assembly process involves the interaction of
numerous, geometrically complex, mating components.
During operation, the engine assembly is subject to a wide
range of severe mechanical and thermal loading conditions.
Abaqus/Standard provides powertrain engineers with the
tools needed to simulate engine assembly and operation
conditions:
- Automated bolt loading conditions
- Hertz contact conditions including frictional effects and
interference fit operations
- Rubber component analysis involving finite
deformations and finite-sliding contact
- Nonlinear gasket response and sealing pressure
predictions
- Heat transfer and subsequent thermal-stress analysis
- Metal plasticity and gray cast iron plasticity
- Modified tetrahedral elements for modeling complex
geometries in contact analyses
- Substructure modeling
This course does not contain any workshops. The lectures
include numerous, practical examples detailing the
procedures involved in the simulation of engine
components with Abaqus.
Who should attend:
This course is recommended for engineers with
experience using Abaqus/Standard.

Abaqus provides a wide variety of capabilities for simulating the
assembly and operation of engines. In the analysis shown above, the sealing
pressure on the gasket is monitored as the bolts fastening the cover to
the intake manifold are tightened in sequence and then the engine is subjected
to the operating temperatures and pressures.
