Thermomechanical analysis of functionally graded components using Abaqus

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the thermomechanical analysis of functionally graded structural components using Abaqus complete environment. We present the capabilities offered by the pre- and postprocessors of Abaqus finite element software for solving problems of bodies composed of heterogeneous materials, and how these can be utilized in custom numerical methods. We investigate, how we can utilize the built-in Python kernel of Abaqus complete environment and how we can use the results to train neural network or for solving optimization problems.
