The definition of warranty varies depending on the nature of product being used by the consumer. For a product as intangible as an insurance policy, warranty may be defined as percentage of eligible claims settled by the insurance company in given time-period. However, manufacturing companies produce tangible products. In such scenarios warranty is almost always defined either in terms of

In this blog article, I am going to highlight a few key enhancements with respect to the scenario modeling and the underlying solver. Multiple reference frames Most of CFD users are familiar with concept of moving fluid boundaries. Traditionally
Read moreWhen it comes to Abaqus structural solver, picture is clear. There is a standard (implicit) solver as well as an explicit solver. Each of these has its own merits and demerits that we have discussed in previous blog articles. However, in CFD there appears to be only one solver. So… Is it implicit or explicit!! Well, if you look at
Read moreIn recent blog article on friction, I discussed about a new Abaqus functionality that allows user to define friction as surface property and Abaqus computes contact pair friction coefficients from corresponding surface friction properties. In this blog article we discuss yet another nice and recent functionality in Abaqus explicit called anisotropic friction. The anisotropic behavior may arise from number of
