SESSIONS
STATICS – DYNAMICS
Wednesday, 14:00 – 20:00 h
Hölderlin Hall
Thursday, 08:20 – 12:40 h
Hölderlin Hall
The first part of the statics and dynamics
session on Wednesday afternoon is composed
of numerous industry applications.
The TÜV Rheinland certification authority
will report about the aspects of FEM
application in collapse load analysis.
Applications in the development process
in the automotive industry will also be a
focus. A paper on nonlinear optimization
including hyperelastic material and
contact will be presented by Saufer-
Danfoss A.S., Slovac Republic .
On Thursday morning the session covers
further interesting topics. Lectures will
be given on an advanced stability
investigation of an aircraft body, and
on viscoelastic material modeling. Also,
recent experiences with contact mechanics
will be discussed. Furthermore,
presentations on classical structure
strength investigations, including studies
with the well-known FKM code (Analytical
Strength Assessment).
One of the papers will discuss different
numerical methods for examining the
transient behaviour of a Diesel engine
crankshaft.
To complete the session, new features of
the ANSYS software will be shown in the
field of “Rotordynamics” and for ANSYS
Workbench in general.
CIVIL ENGINEERING
Wednesday, 14:00 – 20:00 h
Uhland Hall
This session provides an overview of
software development and applications
in civil engineering and geotechnics.
Analysis software is used for the planning
of the reconstruction of historical buildings
and for the planning of modern
building projects and whole cities. Also,
research studies can be carried out for
the development of new building methods
and building materials under
complex static, dynamic, and thermal
loads. In civil and geotechnical engineering
many different materials (e.g.
concrete, reinforced concrete, glass,
steel, plastics, masonry, wood, rock, geo
materials, textiles…) with various complex
material behaviours are used.
Therefore, the session focuses on the
formulation and implementation of
efficient material models. Using powerful
simulation software products, typical
phenomena such as cracking and load
relocating for historical buildings can be
reliably described. This makes it possible
to predict the load-carrying capacity as a
basis for high-quality reconstruction
planning.
ANSYS USER CLUB MEETING
Wednesday, 18:20 – 20:00 h
Musikschule Ensemble Room 2
Bi-annual meeting of the German ANSYS
User Club (AUC). Guests are welcome!
ENGINEERING SPIRIT
FLEXIBLE BODIES IN MULTI
BODY SYSTEMS SOFTWARE
Wednesday, 14:00 – 17:40 h
Musikschule Ensemble Room 2
For many years FEM and Multi Body
Simulation (MBS) software tools were
separate worlds. Recently an increasing
number of MBS features has been included
in FEM packages and vice versa.
One example for the integration of MBS
capabilities into a FEM code is the new
ANSYS Version 11.0. The focus of the
session is therefore to present the new
features, future developments and applications
in coupling flexible and rigid
bodies in ANSYS.
Other presentations show state-of-the-art
applications in the automotive industry,
how flexible bodies can be implemented
in standard MBS software and how
different programs can be coupled to
simulate all effects of a virtual prototype,
for example control systems and flexible
bodies.
Moreover, MBS applications like
RecurDyn, Adams, or Simpack will
be presented.
