Everything you need to Master Abaqus Scripting

  • You will not only learn how to use Abaqus, but you will also learn how to automate your models in an extremely simple way with Python Scripting, saving huge amounts of time and preventing human errors
  • All lessons of this course are very fluid, comprehensive and every single detail is explained
  • You will learn to automate any task in Abaqus: from designing geometry, going through meshing, up to solving the models, processing outputs and much more
  • Every lesson goes straight to the point, without any worthless piece of content. You will learn what you need on every stage and you will be putting it in practice from the very first day
  • The final goal of the course is that you manage to face a complex model with confidence. You will go from “I have no idea where to get started” to “I have streamlined a complete FE analysis in Abaqus with Python!”

My professional career

My name is Miguel Herráez, I am an industrial engineer and Phd in materials science.

 

From my childhood I have always wished to help everyone and to learn everyday something new to go as far as possible. That is how, a few years ago… I could even work at NASA!

 

In 2013, I started a Phd and I felt overwhelmed when I realized how many new things I had to master in such a short period of time. I needed to use Abaqus from the very first day, but I did not know anything about it.

 

I needed to learn quickly, I didn’t know where to get started and I was running out of time. I spent many days and nights reading, filtering and collecting information to get up to date.

 

Since that time, I have been working with Abaqus daily, for scientific purposes as well as for indutrial projects. This allowed me to develop a unique method to learn how to use Abaqus in an easy and fast way.

 

Thanks to this methodology, I have achieved further goals than I would have ever expected, and what is more important, I have helped other people to make it real too.
