Abaqus includes several advanced techniques for modeling extreme deformation and fluid flow. The pure Eulerian analysis capability in Abaqus Explicit allows for effective modeling of fluid flows and extremely large deformations in solids. Coupling the power of this capability with the traditional Lagrangian approach makes it possible to simulate complicated multiphysics phenomena such as fluid structure interactions where highly deformable materials interact with relatively stiff bodies. The need for modeling high velocity impacts, extremely violent fluid flows, and material phase changes requires the use of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, a meshless Lagrangian method capable of solving these challenging problems efficiently. This course aims at providing users with a solid understanding of the Coupled Eulerian Lagrangian (CEL) and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) methods and illustrating approaches to setting up and analyzing real world problems using these advanced analysis methods.

Choosing an element is one of the most fundamental questions that users must answer as they build a finite element model. Many issues should be considered when selecting an element, including: Is there contact in the model? Is the material behavior fully or nearly incompressible? Will the element bend during the analysis? Is the structure thick or thin? Will the mesh become severely distorted? What results are needed from the analysis? Is the analysis a static or dynamic simulation? This course provides an overview of the different element types available in Abaqus for stress analyses. Differences between the Abaqus Standard and Abaqus Explicit element libraries are considered. Application specific recommendations for choosing an element type are provided. The pitfalls and symptoms of choosing incorrect element types are also discussed. Examples and workshops are used to illustrate element behavior and the consequences of choosing incorrect element types for a given problem.
