This damage initiation model for fiber-reinforced composites is available in Abaqus/Standard for more realistic failure predictions.
If you are running large-scale simulations, check if your system can leverage . This was a major focus in the 2021 updates to speed up frequency extraction in Windows environments. DS SIMULIA Suite 2021 HF4
If you'd like to dive deeper into one of these, let me know: Setting up for your model. Automating workflows using Isight . Configuring fe-safe for specific fatigue algorithms. What's New in Abaqus R2021x - 3DS Blog - Dassault Systèmes If you'd like to dive deeper into one
In Abaqus/Explicit , you can apply a uniform damping ratio across a specific frequency range to improve result stability. 🚀 Pro Tip: Performance Boost What's New in Abaqus R2021x - 3DS Blog
A new utility in Abaqus/CAE lets you strip unnecessary data from Output Database ( .odb ) files, which is critical for managing storage when dealing with massive simulation results. Advanced Physics Capabilities
In Abaqus/Standard , you can now run multiple nonlinear load cases within a single job . This minimizes the number of output files and reduces overall run time compared to managing separate simulations.
A new interface in fe-safe 2021 HF4 (specifically FD04) allows for more precise fatigue life predictions at sub-surface locations.
