Modern Day Methods Demonstrated on Classic Forms

webinar-thumbnail

For years engineers have enjoyed the relative ease of connecting their CAD geometry with their analysis tools. But what do you do when a CAD model of your structure does not exist? How do you take data from a scan and use it in a finite element analysis? This webinar shows you how to:

  • Convert scanned data from a classical Greek statue into a solid model using Ansys SpaceClaim
  • Load the geometry into Ansys Mechanical and run a structural analysis
  • Use SMART technology to determine if a crack will propagate should the statue be exposed to an extreme loading environment like an earthquake
  • Use Ansys Workbench Project as a template to easily analyze variations in the statue form
  • Solve for large models using Ansys Cloud with just a few quick mouse clicks in Ansys Mechanical

Ansys Multiphysics Simulation for Crack Propagation Analysis

In this webinar, we will demonstrate a multiphysics simulation for crack propagation analysis. You will learn how a multiphysics workflow in Ansys Workbench — integrated with Ansys Mechanical and Ansys Fluent — can be established for this purpose. Our SMART (separating morphing and adaptive remeshing technology) crack growth capability will be employed to analyze crack growth due to thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF). The webinar will take you through an illustrative workflow using a turbocharger application to explain: Fluid mechanics analysis (for the determination of temperature and pressure distribution on surfaces) Thermal analysis (for the calculation of full temperature fields) Stress analysis (for the delivery of full displacement and stress fields and to find the most highly stressed areas) SMART crack growth analysis (for determination of fracture parameters, crack path and component lifetime after crack initiation)

FEM Modeling of Eigenstrain in Heterogeneous Media

The concept of eigenstrain is a link between solid mechanics and other physical phenomena which cause a change of shape or dimension in a material. These include plasticity, creep, vacancy-assisted deformation, twinning, thermal expansion, dimensional changes due to phase transformation and curing, etc. Although these physical phenomena can lead to deformation, it is only the elastic strain that can cause stress. In this webinar, we will discuss the applications of finite element analysis to study eigenstrain problems of thermal distortion and residual stresses during heat treatment, welding, polymer curing and additive manufacturing. What makes these problems challenging is the fact that many of these problems are multiphysics in nature, with each physics having different spatial and temporal scales. Since solid mechanics is agnostic to the origin of eigenstrain, it is possible to account for the cumulative effort of all the multiphysics causing eigenstrain into any one phenomenon that causes eigenstrain. Recent advances in using machine learning to model the cumulative effects of all the multiphysics, without requiring knowledge of the physics of each phenomenon, will also be discussed. This webinar will give you a basic understanding of the equations of micromechanics in the presence of eigenstrains and their application.

Tips and Tricks for Optimizing Your Development and Reducing Your FEA Preprocessing Time

Ansys Mechanical users continue to solve highly complex engineering problems faster and more efficiently than ever before, with geometry and meshing playing an integral part in the computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulation process. Generating accurate geometry and creating the most appropriate mesh remains the foundation of engineering simulation. The accuracy of geometry and meshes influences the reliability, convergence and speed of simulation. Furthermore, the time required to prepare and mesh a model often consumes the time to arrive at a CAE solution. Therefore, automated, industry-proven preprocessing tools deliver enhanced and expedited solutions.

Receive expert tips for conducting a structural analysis to validate the new geometry. Discover how to predict part shape, distortion and stresses of additive manufacturing and validate the printed part with a final fatigue analysis.

Moving Digital Manufacturing to the Cloud

FLSmidth Is on Its Way to a Hybrid CAE Cloud Infrastructure Digital transformation is accelerating in all industries. Corporations are looking to increase agility and innovation by streamlining their processes and shifting company assets into services that can also be outsourced. One example is FLSmidth, a manufacturer based in Denmark — with 12,000 employees and offices in 60 countries. It provides market-leading factories, machinery, services and know-how to the global cement and mineral industries. FLSmidth's R&D team is currently enhancing their in-house engineering computing resources. They are adding on-demand compute clusters in the Microsoft® Azure® cloud and moving their customized CAE workloads, including ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS Mechanical, onto this fully automated and self-service cloud platform. This result will be a hybrid, dynamic and fully automated self-service engineering simulation environment, enabled by UberCloud’s unique high-performance computing (HPC) software containers. In this webinar, we explain current and future simulation infrastructure at FLSmidth, list the reasons for this sea change and describe the transformation process, benefits and challenges encountered along the way. Learn how UberCloud's CAE software container technology dramatically facilitated the smooth transition of its CAE workloads to a hybrid, multicloud engineering simulation infrastructure.
