The 2005 ABAQUS
Austria Users' Conference
|
Sep
27-28, 2005
in Graz
Background
Whether you're a long-time user or new to ABAQUS, you shouldn't
miss our annual regional meeting. This one-day event focuses on
important developments and innovative uses of the ABAQUS product
suite. You'll have the chance to preview new capabilities, provide
feedback to ABAQUS staff and network with your engineering peers.
The social event on the evening of Sep 27 gives you the opportunity
to meet colleagues of the ABAQUS user family in a relaxed
atmosphere at the Schlossberg in the center of Graz.
|
| User Presentations
User technical presentations are a highlight of the meeting. If
you are interested in sharing your ABAQUS experience, please
e-mail an abstract or PowerPoint presentation for
consideration to abaqusuc2005@abaqus.at
before Aug 19, 2005.
Presentations should
describe novel applications of ABAQUS to important and challenging
design problems. We have limited time slots available for
speakers, so we recommend you submit proposals early. We will waive
the conference registration fee for speakers.

New
ABAQUS Release
The meeting will also preview ABAQUS Version 6.6, which will ship
in Q2 2006. Version 6.6 is a major release with scores of new
features. Staff members from ABAQUS Headquarters USA and ABAQUS
Europe will be in Graz to answer your questions concerning new
capabilities of ABAQUS.

Pre-meeting
Seminar
On Sep 27, we will conduct the following 1-day seminar:
|
|
|
|
|
“Modeling Fracture and Failure with ABAQUS”
*
Fracture
and failure modeling allows for product designs that maximize the safe
operating life of structural components. ABAQUS offers many
capabilities that enable fracture and failure modeling. This seminar
provides a detailed discussion of these capabilities. During the
seminar's lectures users will learn about:
|
|
|
|
-
Proper modeling techniques for capturing crack-tip singularities in fracture mechanics problems
-
Proper modeling techniques for finite-strain (nonlinear) fracture mechanics problems
-
Using ABAQUS/CAE to create meshes appropriate for fracture studies
-
Calculation of stress intensity factors and contour integrals around a crack tip
-
Material damage and failure models
-
Wear and erosion modeling
-
Simulating crack growth using cohesive elements
-
Simulating crack growth using VCCT for ABAQUS (VFA)
|
|
Well known capabilities such as the Contour Integral
approach will be reviewed just very briefly while the emphasis
will lie on newer features developed in V6.5. These include (i)
Material Failure and Wear, (ii) Cohesive elements, and (iii)
Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT) for ABAQUS.
Participants will get the official lecture notes
for the original 2-day course which include workshops. This enables
the users to practice the workshops after the seminar.
This seminar is recommended for engineers with
experience using ABAQUS.
