ABAQUS
Encyclopedia : A : AB : ABA : ABAQUS
ABAQUS is a commercial software package for finite element analysis developed by ABAQUS, Inc.
ABAQUS product suite consists of three core products: ABAQUS/Standard, ABAQUS/Explicit and ABAQUS/CAE. ABAQUS/Standard is a general-purpose solver that uses traditional implicit integration scheme to solve finite element analyses. ABAQUS/Explicit uses explicit integration scheme to solve highly nonlinear transient dynamic and quasi-static analyses. ABAQUS/CAE provides an integrated modeling (preprocessing) and visualization (postprocessing) environment for the analysis products. Each of these products also come with additional, optional modules for specific applications or requirements.
ABAQUS products, especially ABAQUS/CAE, extensively use the open-source scripting language Python for scripting and customization.
ABAQUS is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and industrial products industries. The package is also very popular with academic and research institutions due to the wide materials modeling capability and the program's ability to be customized.
ABAQUS was initially designed to address non-linear physical behavior; as a result, the package has an extensive range of material models. Its elastomer (rubberlike) material capabilities are particularly noteworthy.
