Advantages of Preprocessing & Postprocessing in 3DEXPERIENCE

I gave a talk at the Americas Users Conference 2025 Advanced Seminar day, titled Advantages of Preprocessing & Postprocessing in 3DEXPERIENCE

 

 

 

This topic was inspired by another post: One-minute Hex-Meshing Challenge: Reactor Pressure Vessel by @SK

 

Especially entertaining is his YouTube video !! 👀 😃 
 

 

 

 

This was a series of 6 demos that I prepared as videos relating to meshing on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform using Structural Model Creation and Model Assembly design apps, for later use as an INP file: 

  • Tetrahedron meshing of a solid with fine details: piston demo (with a symmetry mesh)
  • Partition Hex Meshing: cardan joint (with automatic partitioning!)
  • Automated Midsurface Quad Mesh: seatback demo (with automatic defeaturing and midsurfacing)
  • Rule Based Meshing: cradle assembly demo (with automatic line weld and spot weld connections)
  • Exporting an INP file: cradle assembly part 2 (there are comments in the INP file indicating the selected units)
  • Running Abaqus INP files in a browser (using cloud resources instead of investing in local or remote processors) 

 

I'll be publishing the videos for the demos above, as time allows. For now, find the PDF below.
