Why learning with Optimec?
At Optimec, we believe that it’s important to learn from a user perspective. Therefore, we make sure to provide the right teacher for each class, which means our expert mastering the best the applications related to the course.
Our live classes are the best option for students to apply their learning directly on the platform with the teacher present, responding immediately to their concerns. This approach allows us to use real-case examples provided by the student or generic ones if needed.
Our mission is to leverage our solid expertise and best-in-class engineering tools, we enable our customers to innovate in their product development processes and manufacturing workflows. Therefore, the same applies to our teaching offer.
With more than 20 years of experience, Optimec is proud to provide the official Dassault Systèmes classes in English and in French (on demand).
Instructor(s)
Benjamin Beckelynck
Engineering Simulation Specialist
Benjamin landed in Quebec City in 2012 after completing an engineering degree in aeronautics from IPSA in France. He went on to pursue a Master's degree in mechanical engineering at Université Laval, and competed in 2015. After moving to Montreal, he joined Optimec Consultants as an FEA analyst in 2016.
Benjamin has since been involved in a wide variety of projects across industries, driving advanced multi-physics simulations. He is now responsible for developing analysis workflows, ensuring high fidelity and detailed comprehension, for structural integrity study, design optimization, and virtual testing.
Hamza Benzakour
Engineering Simulation Specialist
After graduating with a master’s degree in applied mathematics and mechanical engineering from the ENSEIRB of Bordeaux, France, Hamza’s passion for the automotive sector led him to work as a vibration engineer for an international tire manufacturer in France. He then occupied a role of FEA consulting engineer as a crash test specialist for an international car manufacturer for three and half years.
Following his Canadian dream, he found himself in Montréal and his years of experience along with his solid technical knowledge granted him the title of finite element analyst in 2020 for Optimec.
Hafedh Marouane
Engineering Simulation Specialist
Hafedh holds a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the École Polytechnique de Montréal in early 2017. He began his professional career as a postdoctoral researcher in the mechanical engineering department at the same school. He also has teaching experience, acquired as a lecturer in the engineering Modules at Polytechnique Montréal.
Having a diverse background in numerical simulations and a passion for solving complex technical problems, Hafedh joined Optimec in September 2018 and has held the position of a specialist in engineering simulations. Certified “SIMULIA – UFEA Technical Support,” he helps large and diversified clients to analyze, optimize, and improve their products using the latest simulation technologies.
Course overview
DESCRIPTION
Understanding the interaction between bodies is essential for solving many engineering problems. Manufacturing processes, gears, bearings, seals, and dynamic impact events all involve contact. This course covers many techniques and guidelines for solving challenging contact problems. Participants are given a brief overview of the contact formulation and contact logic used in Abaqus/Standard. The hands-on workshops provide ample opportunity to use the concepts developed in the lectures and to learn how to post-process the results of contact analysis.
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Define general contact and contact pairs
- Define appropriate surfaces (rigid or deformable)
- Model frictional contact
- Model large sliding between deformable bodies
- Resolve overclosures in interference fit problems
- Avoid overconstraining the model
- Avoid rigid body motions and unstable motions
- Use pre-tension sections to simulate assembly loads
