Prerequisites: No previous knowledge of Abaqus® is required, but some basic knowledge of finite elements, interactive modeling and continuum mechanics is desirable.

Description: This course is a comprehensive and unified introduction to the modeling and analysis capabilities of Abaqus. It teaches you how to solve linear and nonlinear problems, submit and monitor analysis jobs and view Simulation® results using the interactive interface of Abaqus.

Topics Covered in This Course:

• Linear and nonlinear structural analysis
• Static, dynamic and heat transfer analysis
• Material models: linear elasticity, hyper-elasticity and metal plasticity
• Loads and constraints
• Modeling contact
• Selecting the appropriate elements for your problem
• Feature-based modeling, parts and assemblies
• Working with CAD geometry and imported meshes
• Mesh generation techniques
• Creating, submitting and monitoring analysis jobs
• Viewing Simulation® results
• Restarting an analysis
