Getting Started With Abaqus - Workbook 1: Linear Static Analyses and Basic Mesh Generation

This series is intended to lie somewhere between the challenge of reading the Abaqus Manuals cover-to-cover while that career-opportunity looms, and hoping that keyword searches dish out more than junk-food and don't leave out gems.

The series consists of 7 books: one presenting the underlying theory, and 6 task-oriented Workbooks using a rich set of illustrations to show precisely how to do each task.

Narrated in an easy-to-read, jargon-free style, they cover the user interface, the file structure, linear-static analyses, mesh generation, thermal and thermo-mechanical analyses, mode shape extraction, material non-linearity, contact and boundary non-linearity, geometric non-linearity and explicit analyses.

And provide references for further study.

You should consider this series if you're new to Abaqus. You can be a student, a working engineer or an instructor.
