8.2 Improvement to Eulerian elements

Product: Abaqus/Explicit  

Benefits: Hourglass control has been improved for Eulerian elements containing fluid materials.

Description: The hourglass control approach has been improved for Eulerian elements so that the default viscous form is suitable for all materials including fluid. You no longer need to scale down the hourglass stiffness to keep the fluid from behaving in an unrealistically viscous manner.
