Engineers are under increasing pressure to improve and extend the operating life of structural components. Abaqus FEA provides proven robust capabilities for modeling bulk fracture and crack propagation in composites.
This live eSeminar will focus on basic concepts of extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) in Abaqus, damage modeling and the creation of an XFEM fracture model. There will also be a short hands-on demonstration using Abaqus 6.13.
Advantages of using XFEM in Abaqus include:
- Easier crack definition
- Improved convergence rates for stationary cracks
- Simplified mesh refinement studies
