TRAINING PROGRAM
This course will allow you to discover how to make an analysis using finite elements on a part or on an existing assembly. You will explore the possibilities of adding virtual parts to a model.
You will also discover in-depth how to create connections between assembly components, how to set appropriate connection properties, and how to create an analysis assembly from existing mesh parts.
Advanced pre-processing tools:
• Rigid and flexible bodies (virtual parts)
• Rigid/flexible bodies + springs
• Rigid/flexible bodies + contact elements
• Advanced restraints on virtual parts
Adaptive calculation:
• Defining mesh adaptability parameters according
• to the error criteria and the number of attempts
• Calculations history
Introduction to assemblies:
• The different approaches (structural analysis through the
connection between components or analysis assembly)
• Assumptions linked to linear static analysis
Defining areas to be connected to assemble components:
• General analysis connection
• Point analysis connections (for simulating welding points)
• Line analysis connection (for simulating welding seams)
• Surface connection (for simulating glued joints)
• Points to points connection
• Point and line self-connection (on a single component)
Defining physical properties associated with connected areas in order to assemble components:
• Welded connection, welded + spring
• Rigid and flexible connections
• Smooth connections without contact
• Smooth connections with contact and without friction
• Welding seams
• Glued joint connection
• Bolt tightening and bracing connections
• Virtual bolt tightening connection
• Personalised connection (combination of physical properties)
Analysis Assemblies:
• Defining analysis assemblies
• Why use analysis assembly
• The analysis assembly process
• What is a Representation
• How to link a representation to a part
• What is the Analysis Assembly 2D viewer
• How to use the Analysis Assembly 2D viewer
