A new video tutorial for Salome Meca full of new stuffs is coming your way! Nonlinear Hertz Contact Tutorial I did in the past a post about the Hertz contact… 4 years ago wow… time flies ;-) Time to show you how to do that with a proper axisymmetric model in Salome-Meca 2018. This is […]
How to define a nonlinear material in FEA?
In this article, I will tell you the very basics you need to understand to start using nonlinear material models in your FEA simulation. If you are just starting FEA, you may have learned that defining “Material Data” usually meant providing 2 input values into your FEA software: The Young’s Modulus The poisson’s ratio And […]
5 simple tips that will simplify your life in nonlinear FEA analysis
NonlinearStatic-Tutorial-Clip A lot of people asked me about Nonlinear Analysis which can be a quite tricky subject for those who are coming from the linear static world, so I decided to write a post about some of my past experience to give you 5 tips that will simplify your life in nonlinear FEA analysis. To […]
All About Hertz Contact
Today I finished my “Homework” for the NAFEMS Nonlinear Course (http://www.nafems.org/professional_development/nafems_training/training/el_nonlinear/) and I decided to write a post about this interesting exemple, the Hertz Contact ! Hertz Contact: Description of the problem This problems describes the behavior of a steel cylinder pressed into an aluminium block. Both materials are assumed as linear elastic materials and […]
