Thirsty for simulation! We’ve got just the blog for you. Guest blogger Rob Hurlston from Fidelis is sharing his Abaqus SPH beer pour simulation tutorial. Cheers to that!
Stay tuned for more fun tutorials from Rob and Fidelis, coming soon to the blog!
The Fidelis Fun Features series is aimed at taking a lighthearted approach to learning some of the more advanced features of Abaqus in a fun and efficient way. In this video, we take you through the steps required to build geometry, define SPH materials, convert mesh to particles and define necessary interactions, loads and boundary conditions. The video runs around 12 minutes and includes the entire model building process from scratch.
So sit back, relax and maybe even pour yourself a drink?! And don’t forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you’d like to see more simulation related content!
