Description

Product Overview:

Simulating high-speed deformation processes like punching requires specialized modeling techniques for efficiency and accuracy. This tutorial focuses on explicit modeling in Abaqus, which is ideal for fast events, large deformations, and problems involving element deletion.

Using a punch model as a practical example, the video walks you through several methods to significantly reduce simulation time—up to 10 times faster than the base model. You’ll learn how to apply mass scaling, adjust step time, refine mesh sizes, and implement smart modeling tricks such as removing unnecessary geometry. The tutorial is concise and hands-on, designed to be completed in under 30 minutes with all necessary files included.
