This document presents a use case of a Tire manufacturer using ‘Simulation Attributes’ to characterize the ‘Simulation Processes’ created in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform based on the ‘Tire Serial Number’.

Target Audience: Methods developers, and users creating, running and reviewing Simulation Processes.

It is not uncommon for analysts to build workflows incorporating multiple software packages. For structural simulations, the capabilities of Abaqus and Nastran can be combined through the use of matrices. In particular, the linear structural models from Nastran may be brought into Abaqus in matrix form for additional linear or non-linear analyses.

This document provides two workflows for translating the Nastran structural models to Abaqus.

Target Audience: Analysts that are generating Abaqus substructures from Nastran matrix data in either OP2 (binary) or DMIG (text) form.

The 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) platform is a collaborative environment that empowers businesses to innovate in entirely new ways. It provides organizations a holistic, real-time view of their business activity and ecosystem, connecting people, ideas, data and solutions together in a single environment.

This best practice document highlights a toe angle optimization workflow of an automotive suspension mechanism. A Simulation Analyst in the organization simulates the automotive suspension mechanism using Simpack. Simpack is a general multibody system simulation (MBS) software that enables analysts and engineers to simulate the non-linear motion of any mechanical or mechatronic system.

Target Audience: Vehicle CAE Engineer, Vehicle Dynamics Engineer, Modeling and Simulation Engineer, and Methods Developer.

This Best Practices document demonstrates the use of advanced Abaqus features authored by a Mechanical Analyst using the External Solve feature of the Physics Simulation app.

The Physics Simulation is exported as an Abaqus Input file and is updated interactively with additional Abaqus keywords using a simulation process authored in the simulation templates in the Process Composer app. The updated Abaqus Input file is executed using the Compute Orchestration Service. The results are imported back into the 3DEXPERIENCE Physics Results app for post-processing.

Target Audience: Design Engineers, Mechanical Analysts, CFD Analysts, Methods Developers, and so on.

CST Suite being the core electromagnetic simulation software. CST Studio Suite has a vast solver portfolio. Connector for CST combines the power of CST Studio Suite with data management and collaborative tools of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

This document is a good read along with the other Connector for CST training materials available in the 3DEXPERIENCE University for those who are getting started with 3DEXPERIENCE Connector for CST. It also explains some of the basic options available in the connector that the user should keep in mind when importing the CAD model from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to the CST Studio Suite. Additionally, it provides information about the usage of CST adapter in the 3DEXPERIENCE Optimization Process Composer.

Target Audience: Electromagnetics Analyst, Electromagnetics Engineer, Method Developer

Accurate material modeling is a key to realistic finite element (FE) simulations. Different material models are used for different classes of material, each aiming to capture the correct physical behavior.

This document provides guidance on developing equivalent material modeling techniques in Abaqus for GISSMO and MAT_ARUP_ADHESIVE models in LS-Dyna. These models are popular in the industry but currently not available in Abaqus. GISSMO model is widely used in the automotive industry for crash simulations. This document describes the GISSMO model and its equivalent modeling approach in Abaqus. The MAT_ARUP_ADHESIVE material model is discussed briefly, only in terms of usage in Abaqus.

Target Audience: FE analysts, LS-Dyna users, Abaqus users

This Best Practices document covers all prerequisites required for installation and configuration of 3DEXPERIENCE R2022x SIMULIA Process Composer and 3DOrchestrate Distribution server.

It enables the users to perform 3DEXPERIENCE R2022x SIMULIA 3DOrchestrate installation, with ‘Advanced’ method of deployment and Apache as reverse proxy.

Target Audience: Site IT, Software Architects, Administrators, Tech Support members, and Consultants.

SIMULIA Simpack is a Multibody Simulation (MBS) software for dynamic analysis of mechanical systems. Multibody Simulation allows an analyst to study the kinematic behavior of a system or to identify forces acting between two components at a much lower computational cost than a Finite Element Analysis.

Flexible Multibody Simulation is an elegant approach that combines the benefits of the traditional MBS approach with the high fidelity provided by the Finite Element method.

This document provides an overview of model reduction techniques, preparation of FE model, types of couplings, substructure generation steps, quality check of FBI files, and the best solver settings suitable for Flexible Multibody Simulation.

Target Audience: Analysts, Consultants and Tech Support.

This document describes best practices for a new, state-of-the-art iterative linear equation solver in Abaqus/Standard and the 3DEXPERIENCE structural simulation apps.

The new solution capability is based on an original, unpublished proprietary algorithm developed for reliability and efficiency. A scalable parallel implementation results in a very fast, low memory consumption solver well suited for very large models.

The iterative solver is best suited to models with certain characteristics. This Best Practices document provides usage guidelines and strategies to help you best use this technology. This document is applicable to all releases from 3DEXPERIENCE R2022x and above.

Target Audience: Structural and Mechanical Analysts that develop large, computationally intensive finite element models.
