Simulation Continual Learning Program – Element Selection #9

Expand your Abaqus knowledge throughout the year with the paid Continual Learning Program

Topic: Element Selection
Details:

Elements are the basic building blocks in FE modelling of any geometries and structures. It is very important for any FE Analyst to understand the characteristics of these elements, to use them in the proper manner, based on the specific application. It is also necessary to achieve the desired level of accuracy for the simulated problem.

In Abaqus we have a wide range of elements, more than 500 different types! Some of these elements are unique to Abaqus/Standard and some to Abaqus/Explicit, but there are also elements which are common to both. In this webinar, a brief overview of elements, their characteristics and the challenges encountered in modelling some of these elements are considered.

The focus of this webinar is to help FE Analysts to decide when to use specific element types and to counter the challenges that occur while modelling with these elements in Abaqus.

What is the Continual Learning Program?

The continual learning program is a paid series of 10 webinars delivered during the year. Signing up to the program gives your company full access to the 10 webinars, so every employee in every location can benefit.

The content of the presentations can be provided on request in pdf-format after the webinar. You will also get access to the recordings of the webinars.

You can find an overview below of a few of the handled topics in the past years:

• • Plug-ins & Add-ons for Abaqus
  • Thermal Analysis with Abaqus
