Course Objective

Modern tires are among the most complex structures in production and their complexities span a broad range of the capabilities available in Abaqus. Since tire modeling is a specialized field, this seminar covers the many important yet basic capabilities in Abaqus that are specifically relevant to tire modeling.

The topics include:

• Choosing appropriate elements
• Methods of modeling reinforcement
• Contact modeling details pertinent to tire modeling
• Fundamentals of material modeling-stress and strain measures, material directions
• Linear elasticity, hyperelasticity and viscoelasticity
• Efficient axisymmetric to three-dimensional model generation and results transfer

Who Should Attend

This course is recommended for tire analysts with experience using Abaqus.
