VIAS Webinar: Utilize Abaqus to Solve Contact Problems and Troubleshoot Convergence Issues

Webinar Overview: Abaqus is a general nonlinear FEA package which allows modelling of complex multi-physics phenomenon, subjected to complex loading and boundary conditions. The complex multi-physics problems require an analyst to be familiar with sources of nonlinearities and techniques to resolve the numerical problems arising due to nonlinearities. In a structural mechanics problem, there are three sources of nonlinearities: (1) Large deformation (which results in a coupling of coordinates), (2) Contact (which results in changing boundary condition) and (3) Material (due to which solution becomes complex as stress-strain relations are nonlinear). A complex problem may generally involve all three sources of nonlinearities present. This webinar provides a brief overview of nonlinear modelling capabilities in Abaqus with special emphasis on how to obtain a reliable converged solution to the problem. Also, we will briefly introduce our India and US team leads, discuss about our expertise and services and how we can help, and what makes us different.
