Simulia Abaqus/CAE Software Tutorials and User Interface

Image
If you are already familiar with the Simulia Abaqus solver products and wish to learn Abaqus/CAE, three handy tutorials are at hand to ease your transition. These are excellent for anyone who wishes to undergo complete Abaqus courses or gain an understanding of the basics before progressing to intensive training. In Appendix B, you will develop and examine a basic model with Abaqus/CAE. It guides you through the entire modeling and analysis process, enabling you to view the results easily. Appendix C covers more advanced methods such as working with parts, sketches, partitions, and assembling instances—all of which are critical steps in creating realistic simulations. In Appendix D, you'll learn how to use the Visualization module (Abaqus/Viewer) to display analysis results in various forms and adjust the appearance.  If you're interested in soil-structure modeling, check out this blog on Abaqus for Geotechnical Engineering The manual employs special text styles to facilitate ...

A Complete Guide to Multiphase Flow Simulation Using ANSYS Fluent CFD

Image
In industrial processes, multiphase flow is not only prevalent—it is necessary. From pipelines and evaporators to chemical reactors and crystallizers, multiphase systems are central to many unit processes across many industries. Among these, the oil and gas industry is one of its biggest players of these systems. The industry is not only a leading provider of global energy supply but also a principal supplier of raw materials to many chemical industries, particularly the petrochemical industry. With its far-reaching reach, every advancement in the oil and gas sector can lead to huge operational advantages and vast economic benefits. For this reason, process efficiency and accuracy are of the utmost priority. Simulation: The Key to Process Optimisation In the highly technologically developed world of today, the initial logical step toward process improvement is through simulation. Numerical simulation of a process provides a valuable tool for gaining insight into system behaviour, inves...

Structural Analysis and CDP - Concrete Damage Plasticity for Abaqus Simulia

Image
Concrete is the most prevalent construction material because of its strength and durability. But, as time goes on, concrete can start to crack, deform, and even fail at times when a certain load has been applied to it. Due to the unpredictable behaviour of concrete when stressed, engineers have the desire to have tools we can use to predict the behaviour of concrete structures and how they will respond when loads have been applied. This is where the Abaqus concrete damage plasticity model comes in. It is probably one of the best available simulation tools that can be utilized in the Abaqus suite, which will allow you to test and understand how concrete behaves under loading conditions.  In this blog, we will write about how the Abaqus concrete damage plasticity model works, how it has been applicable in a real engineering situation, and why this is a skill civil and structural engineers can benefit from having. We will also cover one of Abaqus training courses, which will enable y...
