As CAE analysts, one of the most challenging aspects of our job is balancing the tradeoff between simulation accuracy and solver efficiency. What good is a simulation model that runs in five minutes but doesn’t mimic the real-world physics? Conversely, how valuable is a well-correlated methodology that takes weeks or months to solve? Although both
We hear it all the time, and most FEA codes spit it out as if it’s the holy grail of field outputs – but what actually is von Mises stress? Hopefully this post will help you understand that a little bit better, and to realize how constitutive FEA material models are taking some liberties with
It’s almost Christmas!!! And we’ve always wondered how those gifts stay in one piece after their fall down the chimney!? The Fidelis Fun Features series is aimed at taking a lighthearted approach to learning some of the more advanced features of ABAQUS in a fun and efficient way. In this video, we take you through
Recently, we partnered with LIFT to produce a webinar on our thoughts regarding the constant push towards truly virtual product development. In case you missed that live event, we’ve repackaged it below and invite you to check it out. It runs around 50 minutes and covers some introductions to LIFT (@0:00) and Fidelis (@8:21). Then
The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform can be accessed via a user login role (PCS) for a nominal fee (less than $1,000). From that login, the user can then gain access hundreds of various business roles, depending on their position within the organization. Rather than acquiring the typical disparate software packages for PLM, CAD, Simulation etc., The 3DEXPERIENCE
Have you ever found yourself wondering which Abaqus element formulation is most suitable for your analysis? With the vast options provided within Abaqus Standard and Abaqus Explicit, novice and experienced users alike often find themselves asking this very question, and for good reason: selecting the appropriate element type with respect to your simulation objectives is
Fidelis is thrilled to announce that ,Dipali Ghodake has joined the team in the role of CFD Specialist. Dipali has been in the world of engineering for over a decade and brings a variety of experience with her to the team – emphasized by her collection of degrees in various engineering disciplines. Her expertise in
It’s Turkeyday week! The Fidelis Fun Features series is aimed at taking a lighthearted approach to learning some of the more advanced features of ABAQUS in a fun and efficient way. In this video, we take you through the steps required to build geometry, define materials and prescribe necessary thermal interactions to virtually defrost and
Anybody that has used the Abaqus suite of products, accessed using Abaqus Extended Tokens, knows the Power of the Portfolio. Within this SIMULIA packaging, Dassault Systèmes created a complementary suite of products that, when used in conjunction with one another, is well-known as the most powerful in the industry. Here we look at the roles
Here’s the first in our Fidelis 5-Mintute Fix series, where we aim to provide punchy answers to some of the common (and not so common) questions we get asked as Abaqus support engineers In this installment, we go through the warnings and errors that you’ll see in the message file (.msg file) when you have
