SIMULIA Central Services in the News:
Nonlinear Analysis of I-35 Bridge Gusset
An interim report on the finite element modeling effort investigating the collapse of the Interstate 35 bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota has been made public by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). SIMULIA Central region services organization worked with the NTSB, State University of New York at Stony Brook, and the Federal Highway Administration to perform nonlinear analyses on the bridge gusset of the U10W joint.

Customized or Onsite Training
Our Professional Services team has created custom training for a wide range of customers. A custom training session can be tailored to cover information specific to your engineering teams’ immediate requirements. Custom training allows you to include examples that incorporate your typical geometries, materials, and design procedures.
Training Materials
Lecture notes for all of our training seminars are available to be purchased to assist in expanding your knowledge and skill in using SIMULIA’s simulation solutions.

What kind of help can I expect from support engineers?
Support engineers can assist in clarifying Abaqus features; advising on the choice of elements, materials, or analysis procedures; suggesting modeling approaches; and confirming or denying suspected Abaqus errors. For suggestions on how to get your questions answered quickly, Answer 3399
If you have concerns about an analysis, please contact Abaqus at an early stage. It is much more efficient to solve problems by helping you use good modeling techniques from the start, rather than trying to resolve modeling errors after you have invested considerable time in a large model that is not working.
If you are customizing Abaqus by writing user subroutines, Python scripts or postprocessing programs using the API to the output database, we do not offer code debugging as part of our standard support service. We do have the local resources to help you with this as a consulting project (at additional cost). We will, of course, correct customization-related errors in Abaqus or the documentation that are brought to our attention.
