Reliable stress results are crucial for making informed engineering decisions, ensuring safety, and optimizing designs. When running a simulation, it’s essential that the results align with real-world observations, despite the assumptions and approximations present in any analysis. Careful modeling and analysis setup are necessary to avoid errors and misleading results. A sufficiently refined mesh with appropriate element choices is the best way to balance efficiency and accuracy in analysis results. This blog explores key meshing techniques to improve the accuracy and reliability of stress results in Abaqus.
No matter how intuitive and robust a program is, it often takes time for new users to familiarize themselves with it and develop techniques to maximize their efficiency. So in this article, we'll share some Abaqus tips and tricks to shorten the learning curve, speed up your analyses, and get the most out of your new FEA software.
SOLIDWORKS Plastics comes pre-loaded with a wide variety of materials used for injection molding. The built-in database includes common polymers, metals, and coolants derived from data provided by different manufacturers. But what if a project in development uses a material that isn’t found in this list?
