Properly modeling the inelastic behavior of materials is very important when evaluating the performance of a design in critical loading situations. This course provides a brief overview of the inelastic behavior observed in metals and the basic concepts of plasticity theory. The course shows Abaqus users how to model various forms of metal plasticity using a combination of examples and workshops to demonstrate the material models and the type of experimental data necessary to calibrate them. The assumptions and limitations of the various plasticity and creep models are also discussed.

Maximizing vehicle range and performance requires precise balance between design aesthetics and aerodynamic efficiency. Traditional design processes fragment creative and engineering teams into separate workflows. This separation limits the impact of aerodynamic performance feedback on early vehicle designs, potentially causing significant delays and costly modifications late in development cycles. A unified approach now integrates advanced aerodynamic simulation directly into early concept design stages. This article examines how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform bridges design and analysis workflows. We discuss traditional workflow limitations, available solutions, and the benefits of incorporating aerodynamic analysis from the initial design phases.

Managing railway wagon safety and reliability over long distances is challenging with traditional physical testing and mathematical methods, especially as freight volumes, train lengths and speeds increase. Mechanical failures and track-related incidents heighten risks, while rail freight operators must also meet strict safety regulations and sustainability standards. Current testing methods are costly, labor-intensive, and lack the precision and sophistication of advanced industrial simulation software, such as SIMULIA Simpack, the current market leader in the rail industry. This article explains the issue-solving solutions that SIMULIA has available in its portfolio.
