February 29, 2020 – <\/strong>Engineering Workshop on Abaqus<\/h2>\n

“Tutorial on Introduction to Abaqus”<\/em><\/h3>\n

A three hour tutorial on “Introduction to Abaqus” was conducted by UB-EERI Student Chapter on February 29, 2020. This was the third tutorial conducted as a part of the Chapter’s initiative “Introduction to using FEA software in structural engineering application” for the academic year 2019-2020. Two UB PhD students, Sai Sharath Parsi<\/a> and Nidhish Jain<\/a>, who have hands on experience with the software presented the tutorial on the following topics: Introduction to Abaqus GUI, modeling , modal analysis, quasi-static analysis, earthquake (dynamic) analysis, buckling analysis, and writing scripts to generate models.<\/p>\n

February 22, 2020 – <\/strong>Engineering Workshop on LS-DYNA<\/h2>\n

“Tutorial on Introduction to LS-DYNA”<\/em><\/h3>\n

UB-EERI Student Chapter organized a tutorial on LS-DYNA on February 22, 2020. This was the second tutorial conducted as a part of the Chapter’s initiative “Introduction to using FEA software in structural engineering application” for the academic year 2019-2020. Ching Ching Yu<\/a> and Faizan Ul Haq Mir<\/a>, two UB PhD students who have in-depth knowledge in LS-DYNA presented the tutorial. Many UB CSEE graduate students attended the tutorial which covered: Introduction to LS-DYNA – modeling, cards, solvers; Eigenvalue, static, and dynamic analysis of beams with different boundary conditions, introduction to blast analysis.<\/p>\n

November 22, 2019 – <\/strong>Engineering Workshop on SAP2000<\/h2>\n

“Tutorial on Introduction to SAP2000”<\/em><\/h3>\n

A tutorial on SAP2000 was organized by the UB-EERI Student Chapter on November 22, 2019. This was the first tutorial conducted as a part of the Chapter’s initiative “Introduction to using FEA software in structural engineering application” for the year 2019-2020. The tutorial was presented by three UB PhD Students: Kaivalya M Lal<\/a>, Rahul Raman<\/a>, and Sai Sharath Parsi<\/a>. It was a 3 hour long tutorial covering a broad range of topics that are useful for seismic analysis of structures, both linear and nonlinear procedures, in SAP2000. Some of them include: Basics of modeling and meshing, modal analysis, geometric and material non-linearity, static push-over analysis, response-spectrum analysis, and linear and nonlinear response-history analysis.<\/p>\n
