One very necessary part of the FEA process is cleaning up geometry so it can be meshed. Many times, we get CAD files that our pre-processor can’t read in properly or needs to be simplified to make a good mesh. In this blog, we will be going over some tricks to help go from a
Today we’re looking at launching FEA jobs in Abaqus CAE. It is important to consider both the number of cores and GPU acceleration selected. And don’t forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you’d like to see more simulation related content!
Today we’re looking at ignoring entities using virtual topology in Abaqus CAE. This is invaluable when cleaning up geometry and developing high quality mesh. And don’t forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you’d like to see more simulation related content!
Today we’re looking at adding shell sections to a midplaned model! This allows us to define thickness and number of integration points, as well as defining the offset position of the analytical shell with respect to the geometry.

Common nodes are a great way to provide a clean connection between parts in a 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!
Meshing is a fundamental aspect of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in which large, complex geometries are discretized into a set of simple, interconnected elements. Put plainly, complex shapes are divided into smaller, simpler shapes using finite elements. Because mesh size, element type, and element quality all directly affect the accuracy and reliability of an FEA
Many Abaqus users will be familiar with the GUI that comes with most packages, Abaqus CAE, but have you ever wanted a little more customization when running your Abaqus jobs? This post focuses on running Abaqus jobs from the command window, and takes a look at some of the lesser known commands that might just
