Abstract

The Abaqus solver is a proven and reliable robust FEA solution for a wide variety of applications. A new interface inside of  3DEXPERENCE includes functionality that will provide the power of simulation to designers that do not have the background to accurately simulate processes using FEA. This presentation will talk about the variety of solutions available in 3DX to "democratize" simulation. We will showcase simulation of the blow molding manufacturing process of a plastic bottle.
