Simmula is here at the show in booth #138 and is showing off its SolidWorks Associative Interface for bringing SolidWorks models into Abaqus advanced simulation software.
I've seen the software at other SW Worlds, and it is always impressive, like... have used Abaqus capabilities on their SW models to run simulations around
- Large deformations to simulate failures, impacts, and crushing and at high-speed.
- Complex interactions, like gear assemblies and flexible multibodies.
- Multiphysics, like fluid-structure interactions, acoustics, and thermal analysis.
- Testing highly nonlinear materials, like rubber, plastic, soil, composites, and even human tissue!
Fer instance, Pelamis Wave Power's Wave Energy Converter generates electricity through a wave farm. They used Abaqus to fine-tune the design of their WEC units (see red tubes in the figure below).
