SIMULIA Structures eNews | May '24

Welcome to the latest issue of the SIMULIA Structures news. This month, we have a range of Tech Talks and blog posts covering general structural modeling advice, specific industrial workflows, manufacturing process optimization, and the hot topic of machine learning.

Joints and gasket seals are widely used in many types of product, and the structural integrity of an object can depend on these. Discover more about modeling these in our tech talk "Model Based Certification of Cohesive Joints" and blog post "Gasket Simulation in Abaqus".

Mobile electronics such as smartphones need to be able to withstand the rigors of daily life. Our upcoming live Tech Talk "Robust Mobile Devices" will explain how simulation can replicate tests such as drop, bending and water immersion and help engineers develop more robust devices.

Simulation doesn't just help design products - it also helps to optimize the processes that manufacture them. The Tech Talk "Sequentially Coupled Plastic Injection to Structural Analysis Workflows" and blog post "Simulation for Additive Manufacturing of a Marine Propeller" demonstrate for injection molding and 3D printing respectively how simulation can be used to improve robustness and build quality.

The topic of machine learning has been a major source of discussion in the tech industry. In two blog posts, "Democratizing Engineering Analysis Through a Universal Material Subroutine" and "Transforming Biomedical Research and Integrating Advanced Simulation", SIMULIA customers explain how coupling machine learning to Abaqus can be used to model complex materials, especially biological tissues.

Finally, we would like to welcome Manatee to the SIMULIA family. Manatee offers a simulation and analysis environment for noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) simulation of electrical machines. Combining electromagnetic, structural, and acoustic simulation methods, Manatee can quickly model the performance of a motor including noise and vibration. For mechanical engineers, this can be crucial for minimizing vibration in their designs and meeting requirements.
