Abaqus Unified FEAToday, product simulation is often being performed The Abaqus Unified FEA product suite offers powerful and complete solutions for both routine and sophisticated engineering problems covering a vast spectrum of industrial applications. In the automotive industry engineering work groups are able to consider full vehicle loads, dynamic vibration, multibody systems, impact/crash, nonlinear static, thermal coupling, and acoustic-structural coupling using a common model data structure and integrated solver technology. Best-in-class companies are taking advantage of Abaqus Unified FEA to consolidate their processes and tools, reduce costs and inefficiencies, and gain a competitive advantage. Abaqus Unified FEA Product Suite
Abaqus/Standard Abaqus/Standard employs solution technology ideal
for static and low-speed dynamic events where highly accurate stress
solutions are critically important. Examples include sealing pressure in
a gasket joint, steady-state rolling of a tire, or crack propagation in
a composite airplane fuselage. Within a single simulation, it is
possible to analyze a model both in the time and frequency domain. For
example, one may start by performing a nonlinear engine cover mounting
analysis including sophisticated gasket mechanics. Following The results at any point within an Abaqus/Standard run can be used as the starting conditions for continuation in Abaqus/Explicit. Similarly, an analysis that starts in Abaqus/Explicit can be continued in Abaqus/Standard. The flexibility provided by this integration allows Abaqus/Standard to be applied to those portions of the analysis that are well-suited to an implicit solution technique, such as static, low-speed dynamic, or steady-state transport analyses; while Abaqus/Explicit may be applied to those portions of the analysis where high-speed, nonlinear, transient response dominates the solution.
Abaqus/ExplicitAbaqus/Ex
Abaqus/CAE Complete solution for Abaqus finite element modeling, visualization, and process automation With Abaqus/CAE you can quickly and efficiently create, edit, monitor, diagnose, and visualize advanced Abaqus analyses. The intuitive interface integrates modeling, analysis, job management, and results visualization in a consistent, easy-to-use environment that is simple to learn for new users, yet highly productive for experienced users. Abaqus/CAE supports familiar interactive computer-aided engineering concepts such as feature-based, parametric modeling, interactive and scripted operation, and GUI customization.
Multiphysics
Multiphysics technology has been a part of Abaqus from the beginning. Starting with Abaqus V2 (in 1979), Abaqus/Aqua simulates hydrodynamic wave loading on flexible structures for offshore pipelines. Through the years additional multiphysics capabilities have been added, such as fluid, thermal, and electrical couplings, to name a few. The advantage of Abaqus Multiphysics is the ease with which Multiphysics problems can be solved by the Abaqus structural FEA user. From the same model, same element library, same material data, and same load history, an Abaqus structural FEA model can easily be extended to include additional physics interaction. No additional tools, interfaces, or simulation methodology are needed. |

the
mounting analysis, the pre-stressed natural frequencies of the cover can
be extracted, or the frequency domain mechanical and acoustic response
of the pre-stressed cover to engine induced vibrations can be examined.
Abaqus/Standard is supported within the Abaqus/CAE modeling environment
for all common pre- and postprocessing needs.
plicit is a finite element analysis product
that is particularly well-suited to simulate brief transient dynamic
events such as consumer electronics drop testing, automotive
crashworthiness, and ballistic impact. The ability of Abaqus/Explicit to
effectively handle severely nonlinear behavior such as contact makes it
very attractive for the simulation of many quasi-static events, such as
rolling of hot metal and slow crushing of energy absorbing devices.
Abaqus/Explicit is designed for production environments, so ease of use,
reliability, and efficiency are key ingredients in its architecture.

Abaqus Unified FEA product suite has significant capabilities that are
used to solve multiphysics problems. These capabilities, developed over
many years and fully integrated as core Abaqus functionality, have been
used extensively for many engineering applications on products and
engineering projects in use today.
