Adaptive Remeshing with Abaqus/Standard

Duration:

1 day

Course Objective:

This course provides an in-depth coverage of the Abaqus features which address adaptive remeshing for solution accuracy. Abaqus/CAE and Abaqus/Standard work together to adaptively remesh your model in response to user-specified criteria. These criteria include error indicator and mesh-size targets. Usage can be manual or fully automatic, providing options to control the way the adaptivity process is executed. This capability eliminates the mesh-related uncertainty associated with the analysis by using well-established methods for calculating solution error indicators, which in turn drive the remeshing process, ultimately providing a balance between solution accuracy and cost.

The course covers the following topics:

• Overview and comparison of adaptivity techniques in Abaqus
• Basics of adaptive remeshing
• Error indicators and the associated output variables
• Specification of adaptive remeshing rules
• The adaptive remeshing process
• Setting up an adaptive remeshing process
• Issues/limitations

The course is divided into lectures, demonstrations and workshops. The course workshops are designed to reinforce concepts presented during the lectures and demonstrations.

Who should attend?

This seminar is recommended for engineers with experience using Abaqus.
