Meshing Complex Geometries in Abaqus
Geometry import and meshing is one of the key areas where we as FE analysts can spend a lot of time and effort. For meshing in particular, using hexahedral elements to mesh complex part can be difficult. In this blog we’d explore one way to obtain a hexahedral mesh for two relatively difficult parts.

Axisymmetric Analysis: Abstraction Shapes and FEM Reps
In Abaqus there is a direct relationship between geometry and the final meshed shape: if we want to defeature or do an axisymmetric analysis, the geometry needs to be modified. On the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, this is not the case. The geometry can remain unchanged. Discover more in the latest blog from Christine Obbink-Huizer.

Stent Analysis in Abaqus
Finite element analysis of stents is challenging. It typically involves small structures, large deformations, complex contact conditions and intricate material definitions. What can Abaqus offer for this type of analysis? In this blog we will find out.

Simulating Composite Materials in Abaqus: A Case Study on Bike Frames
In this blog I explore material choice for bike frames. The choice between aluminum, titanium, steel or carbon fiber is mainly related to the weight of the frame, but what about the loading? In this blog, I will simulate each frame, including the composite one, in Abaqus/Explicit.
