Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL)

Enhances the ability of Abaqus/Explicit to model fluids and materials that undergo extreme deformation Capability consists of: A three-dimensional Eulerian element type Support for all materials in Abaqus/Explicit except hyperelasticity and anisotropy General contact between Eulerian and Lagrangian domains Parallel processing Target applications include: Hydroplaning, water impact, earth penetration, sloshing, bird strike Fully supported in Abaqus/CAE

Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL)

Uses a multi-material finite element formulation Volume-of-fluids method tracks material boundaries within an Eulerian domain Conforming meshes are not required Provides a specialized technique to simulate FSI problems that include: Complex structural contact conditions including self-contact Large structural deformations and displacements Very high-speed dynamics Damage, failure, or erosion at the fluid-structure interface

Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL)

Example: Hydroplaning When a vehicle is driving in the rain, water trapped between the road and tire leads to pressure build-up and possible loss of traction Tire manufacturers use simulation to design tread patterns that reduce the possibility of hydroplaning CEL easily handles the complex contact conditions (pinching) that occur during hydroplaning simulation

Unified FEA
Re-Using instead of Re-Doing

Implicit/explicit integration
Unified FEA is a key component of our product strategy Implies the ability to easily transfer models and results between implicit and explicit solution technologies Implicit/explicit integration Most elements and materials that are common to both solution technologies can be transferred

Nonlinear Dynamics
Abaqus/Standard (=Implicit) Uses a second-order accurate, implicit scheme called the HilberHughes-Taylor (HHT) rule. This is a generalization of the Newmark method. Second-order accurate means the scheme integrates a constant acceleration exactly. The method is unconditionally stable: any size time increment can be used, and the solution will remain bounded. Abaqus/Explicit (=Explicit) Uses a second-order accurate, explicit integration scheme. The method is conditionally stableit gives a bounded solution only when the time increment is less than a critical value.

Comparing implicit and explicit integration scheme Implicit Time increment size is not limited: generally fewer time increments required to complete a given simulation. Each time increment is expensive since each requires the solution for a set of simultaneous equations.

Explicit Time increment size is limited: generally many more time increments are required to complete a given simulation. Each time increment is relatively inexpensive because not required to solve a set of simultaneous equations. Most of the computational expense is associated with element calculations (forming and assembling I).

Seek to control the residual at an intermediate point The model is in equilibrium at the beginning and end of the increment Residual at half-increment (half-step residual)

Implicit Ideal for problems where the response period of interest is long compared to the vibration frequency of the model. Difficult to use explicit dynamics effectively because of the limit on the time increment size. Use for problems that are mildly nonlinear and where the nonlinearities are smooth (e.g., plasticity). With a smooth nonlinear response Abaqus/Standard will need very few iterations to find a converged solution.

Explicit Ideal for high-speed dynamic simulations Require very small time increments; implicit dynamics inefficient. Usually more reliable for problems involving discontinuous nonlinearities. Contact behavior is discontinuous and involves impacts, both of which cause problems for implicit time integration. Other sources of discontinuous behavior include buckling and material failure.
