This post is a continuation in a series about simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and some of the roles you can find there. This week we are focusing on the Structural Performance Engineer Role and how it enables you to conduct structural static, frequency, buckling, modal dynamic response, and structural thermal simulation of parts and assemblies on the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
Overview
Structural Performance Engineer enables product engineers to conduct structural linear and nonlinear static, frequency, buckling, modal dynamic response, and structural thermal simulation of parts and assemblies on the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
Structural Performance Engineer boosts innovation in product engineering and foster collaboration through fast, realistic and accurate simulation with Abaqus technology, leader in the structural analysis industry.
Key Functionality
Structural Performance Engineer delivers industry-leading Abaqus technology in a guided user interface on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform so that design engineers can get the benefits of virtual testing for informed technical decision-making. It offers:
- Linear, nonlinear structural static and quasi-static, as well as thermal analysis with Abaqus
- Dynamic response analysis including frequency, modal transient and modal harmonic analysis, as well as complex eigenvalue extraction with Abaqus
- Advanced and wide nonlinear material models including engineering plasticity for metals and hyperelasticity for
rubber - Robust meshing tools and wide library of elements, including rule-based and automatic batch meshing, with
beam, shell trias and quad solid tetrahedron and hexahedron (brick) elements - Advanced Abaqus contact capabilities for deformable, intermittent contact (surface pairs, automatic detection,
general contact and initialization) between parts and assemblies - Analysis of sequential loading events in a single simulation (multi-step analysis)
- A wide selection of connection and connector options for modeling fasteners and mechanisms
- Efficient post-processing and reporting tools to analyze, review and share product behavior and validation
