Welcome to the second post in our three-part series featuring all our Brain Teasers that we posted weekly on our LinkedIn for two years! This week’s collection of Brain Teasers focuses on mechanics-related questions, further sorted by subject. The answers to these questions as well as the explanations are shown after all the questions. These
The famous fourth dimension, ‘time’, plays a crucial role in determining the behavior of almost all engineering and physical systems. Given this, it is important that our FEA simulation methodologies account for time accordingly. This post is aimed at explaining the concept of time integration in FEA (such as ABAQUS) and the difference in how
Welcome to the first post in our three part series featuring all of the Brain Teasers that were posted weekly on the Fidelis LinkedIn page between 2020 and 2022! This week’s collection of Brain Teasers focuses on material-related questions, further sorted by subject. The answers to these questions, as well as the explanations, are shown
It is often necessary to remove small features such as filets, chamfers, text etc. in order to simplify 3D CAD when building an ABAQUS model. Learn how in this installment of Fidelis Abaqus Tips and Tricks! And don’t forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you’d like to see more simulation related content!

Abaqus is one of the leading finite element analysis (FEA) solutions in the industry. Many of us will have used it either on a local workstation or with the aid of high-performance computing (HPC) on a local network. But what if you don’t have time or budget to research and setup the perfect configuration for
Most mechanical engineers in their studies will learn Mohr’s Circle. It’s an important concept that, unfortunately, isn’t appreciated much outside the university curriculum. But what is it and can we apply it to our understanding of FEA results? Read further to find out! A Quick Background Mohr’s circle is named after its creator, Christian Otto
