Script to transfer load from CFD to structural model in Abaqus
Notice: This package will be available 1 month after purchase in your dashboard.
FEA offers various loading types, such as force, pressure, and temperature, which can be applied to different parts of an object, such as points, surfaces, edges, nodes, and elements. Therefore, applying accurate loading conditions on these features is necessary for reliable simulation results and the safe design of structures. Sometimes, the loading conditions are obtained by another analysis, such as CFD, and need to be transferred and applied to the structural model for the structural analysis; during this transfer, the loads might not be appropriately applied to the model, especially when the loads are complicated like the pressure profile of a space rocket. So in this package, a Python script is presented to solve this issue and transfer the loads properly to the structural model.

In this package, you will learn how to model bolts and joints, simulating the failure of connections and other things with practical examples.
Car part industrial simulation
Car industrial parts are complex and critical components that play a vital role in the operation of a car. Two such parts are the exhaust manifold and the internal combustion engine (IC engine). The exhaust manifold directs hot exhaust gases from the engine's cylinders into the exhaust system and is typically made of cast iron or stainless steel. The IC engine converts fuel into mechanical energy by burning fuel in a controlled explosion within the engine cylinder. High temperatures and pressures must be considered in the design, and the components must be made of durable materials that can withstand the stresses of constant combustion. Therefore, it is important to know how these parts respond under different loading conditions to have the best design possible. In this package, there are two workshops to help you with this job: Heat transfer analysis in an exhaust manifold and Thermomechanical analysis of an exhaust manifold.
