Chapter 9: Submodeling

Submodeling is a finite element technique that you can use to obtain more accurate results in a particular region of a model. A finite element mesh may be too coarse to produce satisfactory results in a given region of interest. The results away from this region, however, may be satisfactory.

Reanalyzing the entire model using a greater mesh refinement in order to obtain more accurate results in one particular region is time-consuming and costly. Instead, you can use submodeling to generate an independent, more finely meshed model of only the region (submodel) of interest and then analyze it.

The following submodeling topics are available:

9.1.Understanding Submodeling

9.2.Using Submodeling

9.3.Example Submodeling Analysis Input

9.4.Shell-to-Solid Submodels

9.5.Where to Find Examples

9.1. Understanding Submodeling

In finite element analysis, the finite element mesh is sometimes too coarse to produce satisfactory results in a specific region of interest, such as a stress concentration region in a stress analysis as shown in Figure 9.1: Submodeling of a Pulley (p. 245). The figure illustrates how to deal with the problem by using submodeling to create a finer mesh on the region (submodel) of interest.

Submodeling is also known as the cut-boundary displacement method (also known as the specified boundary displacement method). The cut boundary is the boundary of the submodel which represents
