ModSim Episode Three: Materials and Non-Linearities

MODSIM Episode Three – Materials and Non-Linearities

In episode 3, we’ll continue our MODSIM journey as we will explore non-linear analysis.

Topics covered:

• An example of performing a basic finite element analysis (FEA) early in the design process of a retaining clip, to validate hand calculations and inform design decisions.
• The Importance of understanding what material model to use and what properties are required for a basic stress analysis of a polymer part.
• Understanding the different types of non-linearity and checking to see whether a linear solver is appropriate or whether a non-linear solver is required.
• Reviewing and interpreting the results of a simulation to understand how to ensure the geometry is suitable prior to the detailed design phase
• Watch this latest episode to also learn hints and tips from our simulation experts when defining your simulation strategy and thoughts on how to build best-practice in from the start, so you have confidence in the process and results at every stage.
