Abaqus/Explicit: Advanced Topics
Course Objective
Description:This course emphasizes practical skills and techniques that are needed for analyses with Abaqus/Explicit. The course uses examples derived from actual industrial applications to reinforce the concepts and issues discussed in the lessons.
Objectives: The topics discussed include the following.
- The explicit dynamics method
- General contact
- Automatic mass scaling for impact problems
- Automatic mass scaling for quasi-static problems
- Using Abaqus/Explicit and Abaqus/Standard together to solve difficult problems, including results transfer and co-simulation
- Modeling high-strain-rate deformation and failure
- Output filtering
- Managing large models
The course is divided into lectures and workshops.
The course’s workshops are integral to the training. They are designed to reinforce concepts presented during the lectures. They are intended to provide users with the experience of running and troubleshooting actual Abaqus analyses.
Who should attend:This course is recommended for relatively new Abaqus/Explicit users and Abaqus/Standard users who want to learn Abaqus/Explicit, regardless of industry or application
Prerequisites: Introduction to Abaqus or equivalent.
