This course provides a brief overview of the distinguishing characteristics of the wide range of continuum and structural elements available in Abaqus for stress analyses. It explains modeling features that may cause certain types of elements to behave poorly. Objectives Upon completion of this course you will be able to: - Understand the distinguishing characteristics of the wide range of continuum and structural elements available in Abaqus for stress analyses - Understand modeling features that may cause certain types of elements to behave poorly - Choose appropriate element types for different applications including the effects of fully or nearly incompressible material behavior, contact, bending, etc.

Who Should Attend : This course is recommended for engineers with experience using Abaqus
