DANTE Abaqus Heat Treatment Simulation Tutorial: Low Pressure Carburization High Pressure Gas Quench

In this DANTE tutorial, we go through creating a low-pressure carburization heat treatment with a high-pressure gas quench simulation inside Abaqus CAE coupled with DANTE Model Builder.

Using an axisymmetric ring slice model, this tutorial demonstrates the entire process from importing geometry and meshing through to carburization, thermal, and stress analysis.

This step-by-step tutorial covers:
– Seeding and edging to create a mesh from existing geometry.
– Importing and implementing low-pressure carburization steps and ambient gas temperature data.
– Creating initial/boundary conditions
