Substructures and Submodeling with Abaqus
Objective:
The size and complexity of designs that are analyzed and
tested with Abaqus continues to grow. Substructures and submodeling
are two effective techniques that allow the
analyst to study problems that are too large to simulate with
a conventional modeling approach.
Substructures are useful to break a large problem into
several smaller components. The substructure lectures
teach users how to:
- Maximize CPU savings when using substructures
- Translate, rotate, and reflect substructures when using multiple
copies in a problem
- Build preloads into substructures
- Plot results within substructures
- Use substructures in dynamic simulations
- Use substructures when the problem contains nonlinearities,
such as contact
- Using co-simulation techniques to include substructures in Abaqus/Explicit
The submodeling lectures cover the following topics:
- When submodeling can be useful
- The proper design of a coarse, global analysis that can
"drive" the submodel analysis
- Mesh design for the submodel analysis
- Shell-to-shell and shell-to-solid submodeling
- Solid-to-solid submodeling
- Submodeling in nonstructural problems
Who should attend:
This course is recommended for engineers with
experience using Abaqus/Standard.
