Training Course Descriptions
Introduction to Abaqus/Standard
and Abaqus/Explicit
Objective:
This introductory course is the ideal way to obtain a
working knowledge of how to use both Abaqus/Standard
and Abaqus/Explicit to solve linear and nonlinear
problems. The seminar introduces you to the analysis capabilities of Abaqus
using the keywords interface.
The course covers the following topics:
- Fundamental modeling techniques and input syntax
- Linear and nonlinear statics
- Selection of the appropriate element for your problem
- Adaptive load incrementation and convergence criteria
- Interpretation of messages issued by Abaqus
- Geometric, material, and contact-induced nonlinearity
- Linear elasticity and metal plasticity
- Restarting of analyses
- Appropriate modeling for contact problems
- Eigenfrequency extraction
- Linear and nonlinear dynamics
- Model transfer between Abaqus/Explicit and
Abaqus/Standard
The course's workshops are an integral part of the
training. They are designed to reinforce the concepts
presented during the lectures and to provide users with the
experience of running and trouble-shooting actual
Abaqus analyses. The workshops also provide
instruction on using Abaqus postprocessors for results
evaluation.
This course is suitable for all Abaqus users,
regardless of which modeling package they use.
It is also designed to complement the Introduction to Abaqus/CAE
course.
Who should attend:
New Abaqus users who will primarily use
third-party preprocessors and whose work will require routine editing
of input files should attend. No
previous knowledge of Abaqus is required, but some
basic knowledge of finite elements and continuum
mechanics is desirable.
