Obtaining converged solutions for highly nonlinear simulations can sometimes be challenging. Difficulties can arise, especially in simulations involving contact, complicated material models and geometrically unstable behavior. Many years of practical experience in understanding and resolving convergence issues have been condensed into this course.

This 3-day course provides an in-depth discussion on solving non-linear
problems in ABAQUS FEA/Standard with an emphasis on modeling and
convergence-related issues for contact. Engineers at ABAQUS FEA have
developed many techniques and guidelines for solving challenging contact
problems.
Convergence issues related to complicated material
models and geometrically unstable behavior are also covered. Many years
of practical experience in understanding and resolving convergence
issues have been condensed into this course

Pressure vessels and piping equipment are periodically assessed based on
guidelines prescribed by documents such as ASME/API-579
Fitness-for-Service (FFS).
Finite element based Level – 3
assessments are often utilized for assessing equipment with complex
geometries and loading conditions. The course discusses methods for
modeling common pressure vessels such as distillation towers, storage
vessels, etc. using ABAQUS FEA/CAE.
Methods for application and
verification of loads such as weight of contents, internal pressure,
etc. using ABAQUS FEA/Standard, as required for Level-3 FFS assessments
are
also discussed. Procedures for analyzing metal loss using the finite
element method by mapping thickness readings from scans are also
discussed.

The offshore oil and gas industry has some unique analysis challenges.
Complex loading conditions, often highly nonlinear stress states and
extensive contact requires advanced FEA software and experienced
analysts to be successful.
This course was designed by SIMULIA
UK in support of their offshore customers to provide them a more
in-depth, industry-specific training. The workshops in this course are
completely new and were developed from customer applications.

Participants are given an overview of modeling geotechnical problems.
Experimental testing and how it relates to the calibration of
constitutive models for geotechnical materials is reviewed. The seminar
teaches users how to use and calibrate the different geotechnical
material constitutive models available in ABAQUS FEA and discusses the
limitations of these models.
The coupling between fluid flow and
stress/deformation in the analysis of porous media is also considered.
Modeling issues related to geotechnical problems are addressed and
numerous illustrative examples are examined

The user subroutines in ABAQUS FEA allow the program to be customized
for
particular applications.
User subroutine UMAT in ABAQUS
FEA/Standard
and
user subroutine VUMAT in ABAQUS FEA/Explicit allow constitutive models
to be
added to the program, while user subroutine UEL in ABAQUS FEA/Standard
and
VUEL in ABAQUS FEA/Explicit allow the creation of user-defined elements.

ISIGHT is a Process Integration and Design Optimization ( PIDO )
software framework, which enables various applications to be easily
integrated.
With ISIGHT you can create flexible simulation
process flows
to automate the exploration of design alternatives and identification of
optimal performance parameters. This course comprehensively covers the
Design and Runtime Gateways along with several fundamental components,
exposing users to the ways in which a workflow can be built in ISIGHT
and the ways in which the design space can be explored.

When used in combination with finite element analyses, non-parametric
optimization techniques can help you refine your designs and produce
lightweight, strong and durable components. In addition, using
structural optimization techniques can significantly reduce the number
of design iterations required during a product development process. This
leads to huge savings in tooling costs and vastly reduces the time to
market for the product.
The objective of this seminar is to introduce users to the
non-parametric optimization capabilities available in “Tosca for
ABAQUS FEA.” An easy to use interface native to ABAQUS FEA/CAE is
available for
the setup, execution, monitoring and postprocessing of topology, shape
and sizing optimization problems. In combination with ABAQUS FEA
analysis
products, Tosca for ABAQUS FEA offers an unparalleled structural
optimization capability for highly nonlinear problems.
