Efficient modeling techniques for tubular and frame structures
Simplifying solid geometry to produce quicker and more accurate simulation results
Using efficient techniques for modeling tubular and frame structures allows you to get faster, more accurate simulation results. During this webinar, our experts will walk you through an approach to simplify solid geometry to create more efficient finite element models, available tools to help automate both the simplification and meshing process and options for reviewing simulation results on a model containing mostly 1D elements.
Key learnings:
- Automatically generate 1D curves and required intersections from tubular structures
- Create a spring/damper element to model behavior of a shock absorber
- Merge coincident nodes in order to create one connected mesh
- Apply loads and boundary conditions on a model meshed with 1D elements
- Use postprocessing methods designed specifically to aid in review of results on line-elements
