Connections or joints are used to assemble various engineering structures. Engineers face challenges in conducting the finite element analysis of assemblies involving connections. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides a wide range of connection tools that can be used to model complex real life scenarios.
This best practices document focuses on the following points:
- Underlying methodology of each connection type
- Best modeling approach for different model structures
- Troubleshooting known issues with instructions on how to fix modeling errors
- Correlation between the UI options and the Abaqus Input file
- Understanding different post processing options involving connections
