Global-Local approach for computationally efficient high-fidelity modelling
❑ Two-step finite element analysis: Coarse global analysis
(in ABAQUS) and refined local analysis (in CUF)
❑ High-fidelity modelling of local region via CUF
❑Global displacements applied as boundary conditions for
the local analysis
❑Mesh compatibility not required: Linear interpolation of
global displacements
Efficiency:
14x reduction in DOF
2x reduction in total wall time
