Description

ABAQUS is one of the best-selling and most comprehensive finite element tools available.  The range of features of the ABAQUS software suite runs the full gamut of computational analysis capabilities, including implicit, explicit, and modal analysis; linear and nonlinear static and transient capabilities, and multiphysics and multibody simulation methods.  One of the most important features of ABAQUS is its extensible material models, which permits users to add new material response modules to the core set of ABAQUS modeling capabilities, e.g., constitutive models for soils, concrete, and other materials of Civil Engineering interest.  Another important feature of ABAQUS is the level of integration among the products that comprise this family, so that ABAQUS tools offer "one-stop shopping" for a wide variety of finite-element analysis needs.

Features

The ABAQUS family of software tools includes virtually all of the capabilities required for high-fidelity structural analyses, including large-deformation response and explicit dynamics capabilities found in ABAQUS/Explicit.   Standard implicit ABAQUS simulations can be seamlessly integrated with explicit dynamics analyses to permit the full spectrum of transient analyses to be carried out accurately and simply.  The ABAQUS/CAE package facilitates problem setup and interpretation with advanced visualization and parametric modeling capabilities, and various support tools (e.g., for mold flow analysis) are also available for use within the ABAQUS family.
