Sunday is Valentine’s Day, and whether you have that special someone in your life or not, Fidelis is spreading the love with this ductile damage tutorial for ABAQUS!
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. including ductile damage behavior, and appropriate interactions and loading to simulate Cupid’s arrow flying through an unsuspecting heart. The video runs around 15 minutes and includes the entire model building process from scratch in ABAQUS CAE. For a deeper explanation of how the local stress state influences ductile failure, see our guide to stress triaxiality.
These types of impact and failure simulations fall within the broader structural analysis capabilities Fidelis uses for nonlinear and transient loading problems.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy! And don’t forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you’d like to see more simulation related content!
