Finite element simulations of micro-mechanical response are performed on real and computer simulated microstructures of boron modified titanium alloys containing in-situ formed Titanium Boride (TiB) phase. The microstructure model incorporates realistic particle TiB whisker morphologies/shapes and anisotropic whisker orientations. Surface-to-surface contact with finite sliding is used to model the interaction between the Vickers indenter and the sample. The computed constitutive equations are then used in 2-D and 3-D microstructural models with realistic phase morphologies/spatial distribution to simulate the global elastic-plastic mechanical response of the composite. The results are compared with the experimental data.

The backerpad on the Abrams tank track system is an elastomeric cushion that protects the track and has direct contact with the tank’s wheels. The backerpad’s service life is limited by harsh operating conditions, and system designers are challenged to extend that limit. Accordingly, an analysis is demonstrated here of an experimental backerpad’s fatigue performance under the action of a tank roadwheel repeatedly rolling over the pad. First, the elastomer is characterized via tests that define its fatigue behavior. Next, the multiaxial, variable amplitude duty cycle of the pad through a representative rollover event is computed in ABAQUS/Explicit. Finally, the material characterization and duty cycle are analyzed via the fe-safe/Rubber fatigue life solver to estimate damage accumulation in each finite element of the model.

Simulation Process & Optimization provides a framework for engineering teams to integrate all of the tools they use into re-usable, deployable processes. This reduces time-consuming and error prone tasks to improve productivity and consistency while enabling design exploration studies to find better designs and democratization to expand the user-base for simulation. Lastly, capturing these processes in 3DEXPERIENCE provides the traceability organizations need when making critical business decisions.

The Largest, Deep Open Pits are steadily approaching depths of a kilometre. The complexity of the mining process and damage phenomena for these pits are amongst the most challenging applications of finite element simulation. Although significant advances have been made in the many areas related to mechanics of pit slopes, computer resources have limited the use of numerical modelling for open pit problems to two-dimensions or overly simplified 3d models.

A link between the geological software Irap RMS and ABAQUS is established using ABAQUS scripting interface in order to have; automated generation of geomechanical reservoir simulation models, to better account for geomechanical effects in the reservoir simulation and 4D feasibility studies. The link consists of a set of Python scripts that rebuild the reservoir geometry in ABAQUS/CAE: the tool may connect corresponding hanging wall and foot wall grid blocks in order to generate an unfaulted global model, the tool may open up the grid along the fault surfaces and introduce the geometry of the fault fill material, It adds the geometry of the over-, side- and under-burden. In other words all developments are geometry based which is believed to be a unique feature of the tool.

Whether data is generated from simulation or physical test, customers continue to generate large amount of data that requires Results Analytics to post-process, visualize, and analyze trade-offs. Users can now unlock their data to collaboratively answer common questions, such as “What if?” or “What is my best option?” while retaining decision history and reference material in one place.

Image-based meshing is opening up exciting new possibilities for the application of computational continuum mechanics methods (e.g. CFD and FEA) to material characterization based on micro-structural scan data. An innovative mesh generation technique has been developed which converts 3D scanner data (such as from microCT or X-ray tomography) directly into meshes suitable for use in FE and CFD simulations. The ease and robustness with which simulation models can be generated have opening up exciting new avenues in materials research, particularly in materials characterization and non destructive testing.
