Getting Started with Abaqus - Workbook 1: Linear Static Analyses and Basic Mesh Generation

(available on the Kindle.)

Starting off with the finite element method is rarely easy. Neither is starting with Abaqus. Put the 2 together, and what can you do?

What you should do is check out the Getting Started With Abaqus series.

The first of these richly-illustrated Workbooks showed you how to build your first Abaqus model using Abaqus/CAE. This second Workbook, using the same step-by-step explanations so that you can go further on your own, shows you how to look at your model with a critical eye and figure out why, where and how to improve the FE mesh.

Areas covered include

a review of the basis for element selection
a discussion on files involved in an analysis
a walkthrough of the contents of a typical “INP” file
the relevance of mesh generation in the modeling-process
automatic mesh generation using Abaqus/CAE
the interface for mesh-verification methods and metrics
evaluation of the quality of an FE solution
how to identify regions where the mesh should be improved
recommended assignments
an overview of advanced mesh-generation

The set of Workbooks cover many of the tasks mechanical engineers are faced with – click here for more on the set, which is designed for engineers faced with learning Abaqus on their own.
