SIMULIA Structures eNews | September ‘22

From smartphones to gliders, the topics covered in this month's newsletter cover a wide range of structural simulation topics.

Our ongoing series of Tech Talks has a range of e-seminar recordings available to watch for free on demand. Learn how to develop electronic devices that can survive drops, bends and spills in Structural Simulation for Consumer Electronics Design, discover a new paradigm for "history independent loading" in Managing Multiple Nonlinear Loads, or explore the applications of structural mechanics through toys in Serious Play with Abaqus. In addition, an upcoming live talk will explore Connector Elements in Abaqus.

You'll also find links to blog posts on glider design and the features of the latest release of fe-safe, the fatigue analysis tool, as well as posts from our "Let's Learn Together" series introducing the Composites Structural Analysis Engineer and Structural and Durability Engineer Roles.

Plus, the 3DEXPERIENCE Modeling and Simulation (MODSIM) Conference is coming soon. This online event will feature talks from keynote speakers in major OEMs on the benefits of moving to an integrated design and simulation approach.


E-Seminars

▶️ LIVE Tech Talk: Connector Elements in Abaqus

Connectors have the ability to model connections as simple as pins and rigid links or as complicated as nonlinear frictional joints with elasticity and failure. This Tech Talk offers an overview of connection types, the definitions of connections in terms of Abaqus keywords, and some examples of what connectors may be able to do for them.

Managing Multiple Nonlinear Loads and History Independent Loading in Abaqus | Replay

Parametric studies of different variables into system performance may yield performance benefits if these different "branch studies" can be calculated independently, while still benefitting from relevant prior states. This Tech Talk introduces a new paradigm of "history independent loading" in Abaqus, offering more efficient management of certain complex loading scenarios.
