SolidWorks Simulation Premium: Nonlinear Training Course
Prerequisites: KMust have attended the basic SolidWorks Simulation class, or must have an experience with SolidWorks + working basic knowledge of finite elements and of basic mechanical principles
Description: This class will raise your SolidWorks Simulation FEA skills to the next level! It offers hands-on experience on the use of SolidWorks Simulation Premium nonlinear module. The 2-day course provides an overview on a wide range of nonlinear structural/mechanical analysis topics. You will learn how to deal with models that exhibit large displacements and/or yielding, discuss and practice the use of many material models available in SolidWorks Simulation and, most importantly, how to drive a non-linear analysis to successful completion
The topics covered in this course are:
|
Geometric Nonlinearities
|
Large displacements problems
Large strain formulation
|
|
Material Nonlinearities
|
Nonlinear elasticity
Hyperelasticity (Mooney-Rivlin, Ogden)
Plasticity (von Mises, isotropic/kinematic/mixed hardening rules)
Temperature dependent material properties
Visco-elasticity and creep
|
|
Contact (Boundary) Nonlinearities
|
3D nonlinear gap/contact analysis (with or without material nonlinearities).
|
|
Numerical Procedures
|
Solution control techniques (force, displacement, and Arc-Length controls)
Equilibrium Iterations schemes (Newton-Raphson, modified Newton-Raphson)
Termination schemes (convergence and divergence criteria)
|
|
Special Topics
|
Adaptive automatic stepping algorithm
Prescribed non-zero displacements associated with time curves
Deformation dependent loading
Analysis stabilization techniques
|
|
Viewing the Results
|
Deflected shape plots
Displacement and stress color filled contour plots
Animation of deflected shape, displacement, and stress contour plots
X-Y plots for response quantities Isoplanes and sectioning
