Installing Abaqus 2016 Tutorial
With Abaqus 2016 the Simulia products have been aligned to the same release cycle and naming convention. This is great news for workflows that use multiple products. The next notable difference is that the installation process has been completely revamped. It’s not difficult and this tutorial will take you through installing Abaqus 2016 on Windows 10.

Unboxing Views in CAD
When working in any CAD environment, quickly and intuitively being able to manipulate views will improve efficiency. The basic premise is with the use of the number pad, shortcuts and if you want some scripting most CAD programs can be customized to speed up your workflow.
Dental X-Ray to Bite Simulation
Designing a medical device commonly starts with the healthy or diseased anatomy. Geometry without significant simplifications typically comes from various 3D scanning technologies such as CT or MRI. Here we will go through turning scanned point cloud data into usable NURBS CAD geometry with Catia. FOR FREE ACCESS THE FILES CREATED FOR THIS POST PLEASE CLICK HERE
Parametric Design Optimization with Isight and Abaqus
Abaqus is itself a powerful tool for Finite Element Analysis, but coupling it with Dassault Systèmes Isight can open up new worlds of capabilities when it comes to design optimization. Isight is a system integration tool that is designed to execute other engineering software codes; providing inputs, executing models, parsing results, linking them into integrated
Abaqus and Catia on Windows 10
Being a perpetual early adopter of software updates we are already up and running Windows 10 on our server, laptops and even a Surface. The upgrades went without any issues and we have tested: Catia, Abaqus, Isight, Tosca and fe-safe with the DSLS (Dassault Systèms License Server) hosting the license files. One of our customers, Optimax Systems Inc has installed their DSLS on Windows 10 as well and provided their installation notes for DSLS and Abaqus. It’s great to have cool customers that are willing to help out!
Femur CT Scan to Finite Element Analysis
Introduction The purpose of this post is to explain how to utilize medical imaging data in the development of a prosthetic implant. The two most common medical imaging technologies are CT and MRI. Both export a stack of 2D grey scale images over a 3D domain in the standard Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format. In this post I will go through the development of geometric (CAD) and mechanical (FEA) models based off anatomical imaging data. Through this workflow designs can be tuned for specific biometry based on realistic loading scenarios. As always all of the models used to develop this post are available at the end of the article.
Lacrosse Head Topology Optimization Part 2: Designing for 3D Printing
Topology optimization creates an organic geometry flowing material to where it is needed and eroding where it is not efficient. This technology is ideally suited to the limited manufacturing constraints that 3D printing offers. 3D printed parts by virtue of their layer by layer additive manufacturing approach have complex material properties. These properties are similar to wood where there is a stiff direction (with the grain) and a weak direction (across the grain). To gain the highest performance in 3D printed parts these material properties must be considered in the design process.
Lacrosse Head Topology Optimization
Interview related to this work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGeig6tIvyU&feature=youtu.be Introduction In this post I will go through the methodology to perform topology optimization with Catia (CAD), Abaqus (FEA) and Tosca (Topology Optimization). Topology optimization evolves the geometry to remove unneeded material effectively minimizing weight. This is carried out by automatically scaling individual element’s density and stiffness based on the stress state of the previous simulation. This is an iterative process where material flows to regions to satisfy constraints and minimize the objective function. The created geometry represents the maximum allowable geometry and would be a heavy stiff head. High stiffness is desirable however weight is not. This will be the basis for the objective function of the optimization. The basic workflow is to create CAD geometry with the maximum allowable footprint. Create a standard FEA simulation. Create a topology optimization setting goals and constraints. You can download the files created in this article freely below.
