Explore how finite element methods underpin Abaqus by converting differential equations into a discretized domain, building stiffness matrices for each element, and assembling them to solve for unknowns.
Build a 3D cantilever in Abaqus with a fixed left end and a right-side load. Define geometry, material, section, and mesh, then run a static analysis and view stress results.
Explore the Abaqus meshing process in detail, focusing on partitioning to improve accessibility and mesh quality, and study mesh sensitivity by varying element size to identify an optimal configuration.
Explore non-linear Abaqus problems by examining plasticity, contact, and large-displacement effects through a sheet forming upending example, and learn how density and explicit dynamic analysis drive solution strategies.
Examine explicit versus implicit solvers for nonlinear dynamic problems in Abaqus, highlighting mass and density effects, dynamic equations with velocity and acceleration, and practical convergence considerations.
Modeling heat transfer problems in Abaqus, the lecture explains steady state and transient analysis, initial and ambient temperatures, convection and conduction, with material properties and time stepping.
Study fracture mechanics, from crack initiation and propagation to stress concentration, singularity, and stress intensity factor, and model cracks in Abaqus with mesh refinement and control integral.
This course is a complete basic guide to Abaqus software, which is designed for students, engineers, researchers... to be able to use the software from zero level to simulate physical problems in a simple and practical way. It does not matter if you have no experience in Finite Elements or Abaqus, you will be also capable of understanding everything and you will finish the course with deep knowledge of the subject.
After several years working as an Industrial Engineer, I have realized that mastering the Finite Elements to solve physical problems today is something very necessary in engineering and its demand is really high. In addition, this demand is highly increasing. Knowing how to solve out this type of simulation can give you many job opportunities and many economic benefits.
And as if that were not enough, solving these simulations in Abaqus will offer you even more advantages, because it is a very complete software that offers you a multitude of physical modules for simulation, such as structural, heat transfer, fluid analysis... For this reason, in just a few years it has become one of the leaders in the sector and one of the programs most required by companies in the figure of the engineer.
The big problem has always been the complexity to learn that it entails, because its understanding is not easy. In this course I try to facilitate this entire learning and improvement process, and you will be able to simulate and understand your own physical problems in a short time, thanks to the step-by-step and detailed explanation of complete mechanical, structural, non-linear and heat transfer problems so that you can check how each element affects the result. In summary, the problems you are going to carry out are ideal for understanding the general operation of the software and mastering the essential Abaqus tools in an advanced way.
In other words, what I pretend is to contribute my help and teach you all those things that I would have liked to know in my beginnings and that nobody told me. In this way you can learn to solve different types of problems quickly. And that's more, I will be at your disposal and I will answer all the questions you want in the shortest possible time.
Learning Abaqus has never been easier than now. What are you waiting to join us?
