Structural Simulation Essentials

PERFORM REALISTIC STRUCTURAL SIMULATIONS ON THE 3DEXPERIENCE PLATFORM. MODEL THE REAL WORLD BEHAVIOR OF PARTS AND ASSEMBLIES SUPPORTED BY THE ABAQUS FINITE ELEMENT SOLVER, WHICH ENABLES ADVANCED NONLINEAR MATERIAL MODELS, GENERAL CONTACT AND LARGE DEFORMATIONS.

Course Description

This course is an introduction to structural simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform using the Structural Scenario Creation or Mechanical Scenario Creation app. The basics of Finite Element Modeling with the Structural Model Creation app and post processing with the Physics Results Explorer app are included to provide an end-to-end view of the simulation process. You can use geometry imported/created on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, or designed with SOLIDWORKS Desktop and then imported using the SOLIDWORKS Connected app.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Create complete Finite Element models for structural and thermal simulations
  • Perform structural (linear and nonlinear; statics and dynamics) and thermal simulations
  • View and evaluate simulation results

 Audience

This course is intended for all roles that enable the Structural Scenario Creation and Mechanical Scenario Creation apps, including:

  • Structural Performance Engineer
  • Structural Mechanics Engineer
  • Structural Analysis Engineer

Prerequisites

The following course is strongly recommended prior to taking this one:

Course Overview

The course is divided into lectures and workshops. The course's workshops are integral to the training. They are designed to reinforce concepts presented during the lectures. They are intended to provide users with the experience of running and trouble-shooting simulations. The overview provided below provides details of the topics covered in each lecture. Please note that the actual course agenda may vary depending on location.
