I am modeling contact with irregular geometry and therefore deem it necessary to use modified triangle elements for my 2D axisymmetric analysis, and modified tetrahedrals for my 3D analysis, as per the ABAQUS user manual recommendation. However, I understand that stresses are inaccurately...
I am reading an interesting book entitled <i>Building better products with finite element analysis.</i> In the chapter about boundary conditions, the authors discuss what would be appropriate boundary conditions applied to a simple chair seat where the legs meet the seat, such that the model...
Hi all,
I wonder, is it possible to use a part to serve as a mold for partitioning another part? For instance, if I create a cube with dimensions 1 x 1 x 1, and another cube with dimensions 0.8 x 0.8 x 0.8, can I use the smaller cube to partition the larger cube such that I end up with a cube...
