Structural Analysis Software Applications

Description

This course covers in detail how to run ABAQUS and LSDYNA finite element analysis models on the OSC high performance computing systems. While introductory material will be provided, this course will not cover all of the material needed for a new user to learn about these packages. Users wishing to learn about these packages are welcome to attend, but additional vendor training would be required to learn about all of the modeling capabilities and features.

Material is presented through a combination of lectures and hands-on lab sessions. The focus is how to run an analysis with these codes on the OSC machines. Participants will receive a brief introduction to the technical details of each package and gain experience with each package by programming a prepared example problem. Topics covered for each package include methods for building models, executing the solver in batch mode and viewing results with the post-processor.

Prerequisites

None

Target Audience

Any student or faculty member interested in learning how to run ABAQUS or LS-DYNA analysis problems on the OSC systems
