ASIP 2023 Training – Enhancements in StressCheck v12.0 for DaDT Analysis of 3D Fastened Connections
Abstract: this 2-hour training course, originally presented at the ASIP 2023 conference in Denver, CO, explored the following topics:
- StressCheck’s FEA technology implementation for the modeling, meshing and analysis of arbitrarily shaped 3D crack geometries, with and without the local effects of multi-body contact.
- Strategies for automatic meshing of 3D cracks with high-aspect ratio, 3D-solid pentahedral and hexahedral elements to support high-quality SIF extractions at any location on the crack front.
- New StressCheck 12.0 method to support multi-body contact assembly meshing, auto-detection of contact regions, and automatic assignment of contact pairs for 3D solid bodies.
