This tutorial shows the analysis of a car cabin in order to study the performance of a sound system in the low to mid frequency range. The model studies the transient response to an emitted Gaussian modulated harmonic signal solved with the Pressure Acoustics, Time Explicit physics ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to use the Interior Contact feature to model the contact pressure at a bolted joint connecting two copper busbars. The AC current flowing through the assembly is induced to flow close to the outside boundaries of the conductors, but the contact resistance is ... Read More
This model illustrates the instability of a space arc frame under concentrated vertical loading. The Beam interface is utilized. Two different approaches are used: A full incremental nonlinear analysis, where a small lateral load is applied to break the symmetry of the structure A ... Read More
This tutorial model demonstrates how to estimate the material parameters of a viscoplastic Bergstrom–Boyce model suitable for nonequilibrium modeling of rubber-like materials. The data used for parameter estimation consists of cyclic uniaxial tension and compression tests at two ... Read More
This model showcases how to solve for the scattered field when knowing the incident field for three different types of scatterer, i.e. an infinitely rigid one, a cavity and an elastic inclusion. This formulation can be useful when the scatterer is in the far-field of the source, such ... Read More
The fabrication of a cup through powder compaction is simulated in this tutorial model. The powder compaction process is becoming common in the manufacturing industry, due to its potential for producing components of complex shape and high strength. Combining the Fleck–Kuhn–McMeeking ... Read More
This tutorial demonstrates how to compute the response of an ultrasonic car parking sensor transducer coupling Pressure Acoustics, Frequency Domain, Solid Mechanics, and Piezoelectric Materials. The far-field radiation pattern of the transducer is then used as a source for a Ray ... Read More
Loudspeaker design is a challenging task, where the design objective is to achieve better sound quality without violating manufacturing and operational constraints. The quality of sound depends on many parameters; one of them is the ability to control, damp, and shift the diaphragm ... Read More
A thin-walled container made of rolled steel is subjected to an internal overpressure. As an effect of the manufacturing method, one of the three material principal directions—the out-of- plane direction— has a higher yield stress than the other two. Hill’s orthotropic plasticity is used ... Read More
This conceptual example shows how to calculate critical points in models with contact. The model consists of two contacting arches modeled with the Shell interface. The contact problem is solved using the penalty method. The upper arch is loaded with displacement controlled edge loads ... Read More
