Hierarchic Approaches to Modeling Fastened Connections Webinar

This webinar will focus on best practices for accurately modeling & analyzing fastened connections and joints, including appropriate simplifying assumptions based on the data of interest.
WEBINAR HIGHLIGHTS
- Hierarchic modeling of fastened connections, including Planar-only (fastener + link + 2D elements), multi-body contact (load transfer between all parts), plug/partial contact (load transfer between notable parts), & normal springs (compression-only single part analysis) approaches.
- Pros, cons and applicability of each hierarchic approach will be analyzed.
- CASE STUDY: 3D Lug Comparison – Multi-body contact, plug/partial contact & normal springs.
- LIVE DEMO: You will learn the process of checking reactions in contact regions/holes, as well as how to perform live-dynamic processing of detailed stresses in multi-part assemblies.

The software provides a highly reliable and user-friendly production stress analysis tool that will replace the Finite Element Method (FEM) tools and failure criteria the experts currently employ for analyzing bonded joints. The software includes an FEM-based handbook format, which allows non-experts to utilize models prepared by specialists. The handbook problems include built-in failure criteria, geometric and material nonlinearities, and the modern FEM technology provides better error control and the treatment of very large aspect ratios.”
