Welcome to a new year and a new Structures newsletter. 2024 brings with it the latest release of our portfolio. TheR2024x release of Abaqus and our structural simulation tools on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform includes new features to enable new workflows and improved performance. Our R2024x release Tech Talk introduces these improvements and updates.
Also this month, we have Tech Talks and blog posts on a variety of topics. Gaskets are important for the structural integrity of seals, but their design can be a challenge—our Tech Talk on gasket simulation shows how to model many common gasket types. Folding screens are increasingly common in smart devices, and on our blog you'll find an article about how to ensure strength and durability in these complex moving parts. Also on our blog, we have an article about how to calibrate an anisotropic polymer material model, and an interactive exploration of a blood vessel stent simulation. Finally, we have a Tech Talk on the topics of Abaqus input file editing with Python and a presentation on structural concept engineering, both of which can increase the speed and efficiency of your design and simulation workflows.
E-Seminars
Enable Next-level Efficiency in Structural Concept Engineering
In this webinar we will explore how to efficiently select the right design at the concept stage for sheet metal-like structures, utilizing MODSIM technology based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
Structures Simulation Enhancements in R2024x
This Tech Talk will cover recent updates and improvements that have been made in the R2024x release of the Abaqus solvers as well as developments within the structural applications on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
Abaqus Input File Editing with Python and inpRW
inpRW is a Python kernel utility for parsing, modifying, and writing Abaqus input files. This Tech Talk shows how to automate many tedious input file editing tasks and many operations common to all keyword editing workflows.
Gasket Simulation in Abaqus/Standard
Sealing simulations with gaskets present a unique challenge to the structural analyst. This Tech Talk offers an overview of gasket element types, how to define gasket behaviour in terms of pressure/closure curves, and provides examples of gasket element applications.
NEXTGEN Design Webinar Series
This series will examine the entire product development process from initial requirements to the finished concept. Webinars will focus on an array of topics, from industry-specific workflows and technical demonstrations to broader business values.
Blog Posts
Your Turn! Interactive Online Experience: Stent
Our new series, “Your Turn!,” where you can try out different simulation experiences. This experience uses Finite Element Modeling to explore various stent designs in the biomedical industry.
Anisotropic Polypropylene Calibration: Elastic-Plastic
Understanding the morphology (microstructure) of polymers & plastics may help in understanding the mechanical behavior. Both the nature of the polymer’s chemistry and the manufacturing process(es) will generally effect the resulting morphology.
Structural Performance Evaluation of Foldable Displays
Foldable displays are typically built with multiple, flexible functional layers, bonded with optically clear adhesives (OCAs). Any of the individual functional layers can fail, either by plastic deformation, or cracking, including the cover glass.
