System of Systems Architecture

Good architecture in today’s world of complex programs goes a long way in determining how easy it will be to implement different functionalities and to resolve changes if any in the future. This framework becomes even more pertinent for multi-layered systems. A system of systems in layman’s terms is a cluster of similar systems that fuse their competencies and resources to

What’s new in 3DX 2022x-Scenario and Results Visualization

In our last blog on 3DExperience 2022 enhancements we discussed new features in model building and meshing. We continue the theme here for scenario and results. Scenario Apps Enhancements Sequential Simulations: Thermal-Stress analysis: This is usually a sequential chain simulation with thermal simulation followed by structural simulation. The app has been enhanced to start stress analysis from any step or

Adaptive Connected Systems

In today’s times with the rapidly evolving scene of the high-tech industry, it is of paramount importance that each system that is a part of it allows for continuous improvement and creation without altering the highly connected nature of these systems. Model-Based Definition (MBD) derived from Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) incorporates the idea of going digital with 3D CAD and

What’s new in Abaqus 2022 – Non Linear Mechanics and Sensitivities

The 2022 release in Non Linear mechanics introduces quite a few new material models in many well known areas such as hyperelasticity, creep etc. The in depth mathematical representation of these models is beyond the scope of this blog. The user can refer to the documentation of 2022 release for more details. Valanis Landel model: This is a new hyperelastic

What’s new in Abaqus 2022 – Contacts and Constraints

Contact Enhancements Since 2018 release, contact algorithm has seen many valuable functionality enhancements both for standard and explicit. This year has somewhat similar stories as well. So here we go: Feature Edge Enhancements: This feature has been introduced in earlier release for explicit. The prior default was to consider only perimeter and beam edges for active contacts that was modified

WHAT’S NEW IN SIMCENTER 3D 2021-MATERIALS AND DURABILITY

This is our second blog on the new features in Simcenter latest release. We will continue such blogs in future as we do for Femap. New feature release is a continuous process throughout the year. Usually these features are released in patches as Simcenter 2021.x where x =1,2,3 etc. We are not mapping functional feature with the patch number. However,
