Full Course: Low-Velocity Impact
Read moreLow-velocity impact refers to the collision between objects at relatively low speeds. While the impact energy may be lower compared to high-speed impacts, low-velocity impacts can still cause significant damage and deformation. Assessing the effects of low-velocity impact is crucial for various industries to ensure the structural integrity, safety, and performance of their products. For example, in the automotive industry, understanding the response of vehicles to low-velocity impacts is essential for designing crashworthy structures and improving occupant safety. In aerospace, assessing the impact resistance of aircraft components, such as fuselage panels or wings, helps ensure their ability to withstand ground handling incidents or bird strikes. In this package, you will learn how to do low-velocity impact simulations with several practical examples.

Full Course: Dam simulation
Read moreA dam is a large concrete or earthen barrier built across a river or other waterway to create a reservoir for storing water. Dams are critical infrastructure for providing water for irrigation, drinking, and hydroelectric power generation. However, they are also susceptible to damage from natural disasters and human-made threats, such as earthquakes, landslides, and terrorist attacks. Abaqus can predict the behavior of dams under different loading conditions, including earthquakes, floods, and explosions. It also can model the interaction between the dam, water, and soil, making it a comprehensive and powerful tool for dam engineering. In this package, you will learn how to model dams in different conditions, such as dam simulation subjected to earthquakes in interaction with water and soil and dam simulation subjected to an underwater explosion.

Full Course: Mohr-coulomb usage
Read moreA mathematical model called the Mohr-Coulomb theory describes how brittle materials, such as concrete or rubble piles, react to both shear stress and normal stress. This rule is followed by the majority of traditional engineered materials in at least some of their shear failure envelope. In this package, you will learn how to use this theory in four practical examples: Analysis of surface explosion damage to an underground box tube in ABAQUS, dynamic analysis of a tunnel in soil subjected to internal blast loading, An internal explosion-related numerical simulation of the behavior of a pipeline’s damage mechanics, and for cases utilizing crashworthiness, simulate an Eulerian method to soil impact analysis.

Full Course: CFD Analysis
Read moreFluid-Structure Interaction also known as FSI is a multiphysics problem where the fluid and structure are coupled. The fluid flow can cause the structure to deform, and the deformation of the structure can affect the flow. So when you want to design something, you need to know how the structure will deform and how that deformation affects the flow. Common examples of FSI analysis are airplanes, cars, spacecrafts, and buildings. Other examples like junctions in piping systems, or the human circulatory system. CFD is a branch of research that uses numerical methods to solve the mathematical equations governing fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, chemical reactions, and related phenomena. In Abaqus, you can model both methods. In this package, we present to you three workshops to get you started with Abaqus CFD and FSI: “Using Abaqus CFD methods, examining heat mixing and reverse flow characteristics in a T-junction”, “impact of air velocity over the short column”, “simulate fluid structure interaction on an aluminum body with a flexible tail in Abaqus”.

Full Course: Bolt Modeling
Read moreBolts and joints play a vital role in the stability and structural integrity of various engineering structures, including buildings, bridges, and machines. Bolts are used to fasten or connect different components together, providing a means of transferring loads and ensuring the continuity of load paths. Joints connect structural elements, allowing them to move and deform while maintaining their overall stability. Proper design and selection of bolts and joints are crucial to ensuring the safety and durability of the structure. Factors such as the type of load, the materials used, and the environmental conditions must be considered when selecting bolts and joints. Failure to properly design and install bolts and joints can result in catastrophic failure of the structure. In this package, you will learn how to model bolts and joints, simulating the failure of connections and other things with practical examples.

Full Course: Tunnel Simulation
Read moreA tunnel is an underground or underwater passage for transportation, utility lines, or water pipelines. Tunnels are critical infrastructure, and their safety and reliability are essential for ensuring public safety and the smooth functioning of society. Tunnel simulation involves using computer models to predict the behaviour of tunnels under different types of loading conditions, such as earthquakes, floods, or explosions. These simulations can help engineers and policymakers assess the safety and reliability of tunnels, identify potential failure modes, and develop strategies to mitigate risks. By using advanced simulation techniques, engineers can better understand the complex behavior of tunnels and design more effective and durable structures. Tunnel simulation is an essential tool for ensuring the safety and resilience of tunnels and the infrastructure they support. Some workshops are presented in this package to teach you how to simulate and analyze tunnels in Abaqus; two of these workshops are Damage analysis of an underground box tunnel subjected to surface explosion and Tunnel dynamic analysis subjected to internal blast loading using CEL method.

Full Course: Cold spray simulation
Read moreCold spray is a process used to deposit materials onto a substrate by accelerating fine powder particles to high velocities using compressed gas. Upon impact with the substrate, the particles undergo rapid plastic deformation, disrupting surface oxide films and promoting bonding between metal surfaces. Unlike thermal spray processes, cold spray avoids thermal degradation and partial oxidation of the coating material, resulting in coatings with low porosity and oxygen content. The process is highly efficient, with deposition efficiencies often exceeding 90%. Shot peening is a metal treatment process that involves bombarding a surface with small, round metallic (usually steel), ceramic, or glass beads at high velocity. This process creates small indentations on the surface, which in turn introduces compressive residual stress into the material. These two processes are different and use for separate purposes but their simulations are the same.
Cold spray is particularly important in applications where thermal degradation or oxidation of the coating material is a concern or where the coating is required to be thick and free from defects. In this package, you will learn how to simulate this process with different methods, such as ALE and SPH, with different materials. For example, Cold spray simulation of steel particles impacts on the Inconel target using ALE method.

Full Course: Eulerian Modeling in Abaqus
Read moreThe Eulerian method is a numerical technique used to analyze fluid mechanics problems. In this approach, the fluid is treated as a fixed grid, where the nodes remain stationary while the fluid flows through them. The Eulerian Abaqus method can be used to analyze fluid-structure interactions, such as fluid impact on structures or the behavior of fluids in containers. To use the Eulerian method in Abaqus, the desired geometry must first be meshed using Eulerian elements. The material behavior of the fluid is then defined using appropriate equations of state. Finally, the boundary conditions and loading are applied, and the system is solved using the appropriate numerical method, such as the finite element method. This package will teach you how to use this method and various practical examples. Also, this package covers several practical examples in Abaqus CEL method.
