Check out Adaptive’s Advantage Plus Year End Offer

Do you know about Adaptive’s Advantage Plus​ Program? 

What is it? Advantage Plus is a bundle of time (usually 20 hrs or more) purchased in time blocks and used to engage Adaptive’s technical team as an extension of your technical team. ​

What can Advantage Plus contracts be used for? 

Hours can be applied to a range of services you need that fall outside of free support offers that are provided with an Adaptive product purchase.

Examples of free support include licensing, media, defect and generic non-defect issues.

Advantage Plus hours can be applied to anything ranging from on-the-fly training to helping create best practices in 3D Design, Simulation. 

Products Covered: SIMULIA and CATIA

Here are some ways our customers have used Advantage Plus:

  • We have a new FEA analyst, could you spend some time showing him/her the basics of Abaqus/CAE?
  • We could use some guidance on best practices for creating welds in our FEM. Can you show us?
  • One of our simulation outcomes is missing some erosion data. How do we use the Riks Method for simulation?

Special End of Year Offer:

Purchase a 20-hour block at a discount of $2900!  Rates will be increasing in 2020, so secure your support hours now and use your hours into 2020!

Catch 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation on Wheels in the Midwest

Check out SIMULIA on Wheels with the 3DEXPERIENCE tour coming to a location in the Midwest.  Mark your calendar to check out the mobile playground which is touring from September – November 2019.

On the tour, you will find a playground of interactive experiences that showcases the power of simulation through a virtual replication of the real world, the “3DEXPERIENCE twin.” As your single source of truth, this enables simulation to be fully integrated throughout concept, design, engineering and manufacturing.

View the Tour Dates:

Anyone is welcome to attend the events marked “Open House”.  Technology Days are private events held at a specific organization.

New Video: Abaqus Knee Simulator – Accelerating the Design of Knee Implants

A new video now available from the Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA group demonstrates how the Abaqus Knee Simulator application can accelerate the advanced design of knee implants using finite element (FE) analysis and 3D modeling. The video is hosted by Cheryl Liu, Ph.D. of Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA and Paul Rullkoetter, Ph.D. of OrthoAnalysts.

What is the Abaqus Knee Simulator?

The Abaqus Knee Simulator is a validated computational modeling tool for performing basic to advanced knee implant analyses and simulations. This tool offers five fast and easy-to-setup workflows which reduce your reliance on time-consuming trials and expensive lab equipment, while still meeting regulatory requirements. The video includes an overview of the five workflows, validation of the model, and a demonstration of the software tool.

 

The Benefits of the Abaqus Knee Simulator versus Physical Simulation

Abaqus Knee Simulator - Five WorkflowsThe Knee Simulator is an application that works with Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA software. The application includes five pre-validated workflows knee implant design engineers can use to test their designs without the time-consuming process of creating physical models. The five workflows include; Contact Mechanics, Implant Constraint, TibioFemoral Constraint, Basic TKR Loading, and Wear Simulator.

Dr. Chiu explains how the Contact Mechanics workflow can take up to four hours to run. In contrast, the creation of a physical model to conduct the same test could take four weeks and cost approximately $14,000.

About Abaqus

Today, product simulation is often being performed by engineering groups using niche simulation tools from different vendors to simulate various design attributes. The use of multiple vendor software products creates inefficiencies and increases costs. SIMULIA delivers a scalable suite of unified analysis products that allow all users, regardless of their simulation expertise or domain focus, to collaborate and seamlessly share simulation data and approved methods without loss of information fidelity.

The Abaqus Unified FEA product suite offers powerful and complete solutions for both routine and sophisticated engineering problems covering a vast spectrum of industrial applications.
