Need a focused Abaqus analysis or a technical review of an existing model? I help you understand the results, the assumptions behind them, and their limits.
I am Amir Latifi, a mechanical engineering researcher with a background in Abaqus FEA, fracture mechanics, GFRP laminates, and university teaching.
BASE SERVICE — $300
One small linear-static analysis in Abaqus/Standard: one simple part, one linear-elastic material, and one agreed load case. Geometry, material properties, loads, and constraints must be supplied or agreed before work begins.
You receive:
- A concise PDF report describing the objective, inputs, assumptions, boundary conditions, mesh, results, and limitations.
- Stress and displacement plots, with a CSV summary of the agreed numerical outputs.
- A mesh-refinement comparison for one agreed response quantity, with its significance explained.
- Engineering interpretation of the findings and any unresolved issues.
The model must fit the agreed scope and available computing resources; I check feasibility before accepting the order.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES — QUOTED SEPARATELY
- Review of an existing Abaqus model, including assumptions, boundary conditions, mesh, and result interpretation.
- Fracture assessment using J-integral, stress-intensity factor K, or crack-mouth opening displacement (CMOD), when appropriate to the material, model, and available data.
- GFRP/composite assessment.
- Nonlinear/contact analysis or additional load cases, subject to a feasibility review.
These services are not automatically included in the $300 base task. Fracture outputs are selected for the engineering question; J, K, and CMOD are not promised for every model.
FILES, TIMING, AND QUALITY
Model files (.cae/.inp), result databases (.odb), and scripts are deliverables only when explicitly listed in the quote. File formats and Abaqus version compatibility are agreed beforehand.
Delivery time, included revisions, and acceptance criteria are confirmed in writing before work starts. New geometry, changed loading, or additional analysis requires an updated scope.
I document numerical checks and distinguish them from experimental validation. Comparison with test data is included only when suitable reference data and a comparison method are agreed. Missing inputs or unresolved numerical issues are identified in the report.
BEFORE ORDERING
Please send your engineering question, geometry or dimensions, material data, loads and constraints, required outputs, available reference data, and target date. For an existing model, include the Abaqus version and relevant files.
Message me first so I can confirm the scope, deliverables, feasibility, and fixed quote.
