Objective

The success of many structural designs requires a thorough understanding of both the thermal and mechanical response of the design. Temperature-dependent material properties, thermally-induced deformation, and temperature variations all may be important design considerations.  In this seminar you will learn how to use the coupled thermal-stress analysis capabilities available in both Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit.

Topics that will be covered include:

• Sequentially coupled thermal-stress analysis
• Fully-coupled thermal-stress analysis
• Adiabatic analysis
• Element selection for thermal-stress analysis

Who Should Attend

This course is recommended for engineers with experience using Abaqus. An understanding of pure heat transfer analysis is also helpful.< /p>

If you do not have experience performing heat transfer analyses with Abaqus, consider reviewing the relevant sections of the Abaqus manual before attending this class, such as "Uncoupled heat transfer analysis," section 6.5.2 of the 6.11 Abaqus Analysis User's Manual and "Conductive, convective, and radiative heat transfer in an exhaust manifold," Section 5.1.5 of the 6.11 Abaqus Example Problems Manual.

Pricing

The registration cost for this course is $580. We offer sizable discounts for group registrations from the same site†. The table below lists the discount pricing schedule. Registrations after January 15, 2012 may incur an additional processing fee of $50 per person. SIMULIA West reserves the right to decline registrations received after the deadline.

†Above discounts apply to attendees registering together on one registration form and providing one form of payment.

Academic Discount
A discounted registration fee of $200 is offered to all academic institutions on a space available basis. This discount cannot be combined with the multiple attendee discount. The registrations with the academic discount will not include workshop support.

What is Included

Electronic copies of the training notes will be provided to each registrant for their personal use. Every registrant will also receive a free copy of Abaqus Student Edition – a $99 value. Note, however, that user subroutines are not supported in Abaqus Student Edition; therefore, to perform the workshops for this course you will need access to a licensed copy of Abaqus.
