Have you ever found yourself wondering which Abaqus element formulation is most suitable for your analysis? With the vast options provided within Abaqus Standard and Abaqus Explicit, novice and experienced users alike often find themselves asking this very question, and for good reason: selecting the appropriate element type with respect to your simulation objectives is
When we run a structural Abaqus model, it might be fine to assume linear-elastic material behavior. This means that all of the deformation caused by loading is fully recoverable and no permanent damage or ‘set’ is incurred by the material. This is the case only when the analysis does not generate stresses exceeding the material
As CAE analysts, one of the most challenging aspects of our job is balancing the tradeoff between simulation accuracy and solver efficiency. What good is a simulation model that runs in five minutes but doesn’t mimic the real-world physics? Conversely, how valuable is a well-correlated methodology that takes weeks or months to solve? Although both
We hear it all the time, and most FEA codes spit it out as if it’s the holy grail of field outputs – but what actually is von Mises stress? Hopefully this post will help you understand that a little bit better, and to realize how constitutive FEA material models are taking some liberties with
