Cars and planes, air conditioners, and batteries, among others, all rely on fluids to function at their best. However, fluid problems are quite difficult to solve by hand. So how do engineers make design decisions based on fluid problems? Do they have to rely on physical testing only? Of course not! They use CFD, or
When beginning the process of purchasing top-of-the-line FEA software in 2024, potential buyers typically have these main questions: Can the software accurately and efficiently deliver analysis that will help define solutions for our engineering challenges? How much does it cost (and what is included)? and How do I purchase Abaqus? To help answer these questions,
The Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) technique in Abaqus is a powerful tool to analyze the interaction between structures and fluids simultaneously without the need to use different software. In this article, we will talk about the importance and applications of CEL. But first, it’s important that we get a basic understanding of the differences between Lagrangian
We all know that Abaqus is an extremely powerful FEA solver that allows us to simulate all kinds of real-world physics… but what happens when a material model or other type of physical behavior is unavailable in the tool? It might be tempting just to give up and go a different route – but not
THE SIMULIA VALUE: Reliable and repeatable simulation that powers sustainable innovation. SIMULIA is the simulation brand of Dassault Systèmes. True to the above value, SIMULIA delivers realistic simulation applications that accelerate the process of evaluating the performance, reliability and safety of materials and products prior to physical prototype commitment. For companies to remain competitive, current
Thermal analysis is a powerful tool in an FEA analyst’s arsenal. It is useful to analyze problems such as heating of chips in a PCB or the heating effects of a battery. There are two main types of thermal analysis – steady-state and transient. In this blog, we will discuss both of these types and
Fidelis is thrilled to announce that Trent Szczepaniak has joined the team in the role of Project Engineer. Trent is an adept mathematician, having majored in math at Wayne State University.

Fidelis is more than delighted to announce that Sai Kosaraju has joined the team in the role of Project Engineer. Sai is an Abaqus guru that will bring essential expertise to the growing team. Having spent a decade in academia, she is ready to excel in the fast paced world of consulting. Given that she
One of the biggest strengths of Abaqus is its large library of available element types, meaning that you can optimize analyses for both accuracy and efficiency. It is well known that, when we’re modeling very thin structures, such as the wall of a pressure vessel, it is beneficial to utilize shell elements rather than solids.
