THIS PAGE CONTAINS INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO ABAQUS. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CHECK OUR  GENERAL FEA SOFTWARE SUITES PAGE.

Overview

ABAQUS Finite Element Software was developed by David Hibbitt,Dr. Bengt Karlsson and Paul Sorensen in 1978. ABAQUS finds application across a wide range of industries ranging from nuclear, offshore, automobile, aerospace, bio-medical and consumer industries. ABAQUS software is available in 3 packages:

• ABAQUS/Standard
• ABAQUS/Explicit
• ABAQUS/CAE

ABAQUS/Standard

ABAQUS/Standard provides technology to solve traditional implicit finite element analyses, such as static, dynamics, thermal, all powered with the widest range of contact and nonlinear material options. ABAQUS/Standard also has optional add-on and interface products which address design sensitivity analysis, offshore engineering, and integration with third party software, e.g., plastic injection molding analysis.

ABAQUS/Explicit

ABAQUS/Explicit introduced in 1991, provides solutions to solve transient dynamics and quasi-static analyses using an explicit approach appropriate in many applications such as drop test, crushing and many manufacturing processes.

ABAQUS/CAE

ABAQUS/CAE provides a tool for interactive building of finite element models that interfaces with popular CAD packages and results visualization, was released in 1999. With direct access to CAD models, advanced meshing and visualization, and with an exclusive view towards ABAQUS analysis products, ABAQUS/CAE is the modeling environment of choice for many ABAQUS users.

Creating and Analyzing a Simple Model in Abaqus/CAE

Creating and Analyzing a Simple Model in Abaqus/CAE. Name: Creating and Analyzing a Simple Model in Abaqus/CAE Author: SIMULIA Level: Fundamental Analysis: Linear Structural Duration: 2 hr Download: Available in Getting Started with Abaqus for purchase only Description: The following section is a basic tutorial for the experienced Abaqus user. It leads you through the Abaqus/CAE modeling process by visiting each of the modules and showing you the basic steps to create and analyze a simple model. To illustrate each of the steps, you will first create a model of a steel cantilever beam and load its top surface. You will then analyze the beam and plot the resulting stresses and displacements. The entire tutorial takes approximately 90 minutes to complete.

Creating and Analyzing a Simple Model in Abaqus/CAE

Creating and Analyzing a Simple Model in Abaqus/CAE. Name: Creating and Analyzing a Simple Model in Abaqus/CAE Author: Atul Gupta, SIMULIA Level: Fundamental Analysis: Nonlinear Dynamic Structural Duration: 1 hr Download: Tennis Racket Workshop Description: In this workshop you will become familiar with the process of creating a model interactively by using Abaqus/CAE. We are interested in the dynamic response of the ball and racket when ball hits the racket with a velocity. The frame will be modeled as rigid to reduce the analysis cost for this simulation. This is a single event, so only a single analysis step is needed for the simulation. Consequently, this model will consist of two steps: An initial step, in which you will apply a boundary condition that constrains all degrees of freedom of rigid racket frame and initial velocity to the ball. A Dynamic, Explicit analysis step, in which a dynamic response will be calculated when ball hits the racket.
