Training Course Descriptions
Introduction to Abaqus
Objective:
This course is a comprehensive and unified introduction to the modeling and analysis capabilities of Abaqus. It teaches you how to solve linear and nonlinear problems, submit and monitor analysis jobs, and view simulation results using the interactive interface of Abaqus.
The following products are covered by this seminar: Abaqus/CAE, Abaqus/Standard, and Abaqus/Explicit.
The course covers the following topics:
- Linear and nonlinear structural analysis
- Static, dynamic, and heat transfer analysis
- Material models: linear elasticity, hyperelasticity, and
metal plasticity.
- Loads and constraints
- Modeling contact
- Selecting the appropriate elements for your problem
- Feature-based modeling, parts, and assemblies
- Working with CAD geometry and imported meshes
- Mesh generation techniques
- Creating, submitting, and monitoring analysis jobs
- Viewing simulation results
- Restarting an analysis
The course is divided into lectures, demonstrations, and
workshops.
The course's workshops are integral to the training. They
are designed to reinforce concepts presented during the lectures and
demonstrations. They are intended to provide users with the experience of
running and trouble-shooting actual Abaqus analyses.
Who should attend:
New Abaqus users who will primarily use Abaqus/CAE to create their models
should attend this seminar. No previous
knowledge of Abaqus is required, but some basic knowledge of finite elements
and continuum mechanics is desirable. Also, some familiarity with interactive
modeling is helpful but not required.
