By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Understand how nonlinear problems are solved in Abaqus.
- Develop Abaqus models that will converge.
- Identify modeling errors that cause models to experience convergence difficulties.
- Recognize when a problem is too difficult or too ill-posed to be solved effectively.
- Define contact interactions.
- Define appropriate surfaces (rigid or deformable).
- Model frictional contact.
- Model large sliding between deformable bodies.
- Resolve overclosures in interference fit problems.
Notes:
- A Virtual Machine (VM) and the appropriate licenses will be provided for all classes. If you wish to use your own hardware, refer to the DS Certified Workstations and ensure the relevant products and licenses are properly installed prior to the class start.
- The class may be cancelled or postponed based on enrollment, refer to the Refund and Cancellation Policy for details.
