Go beyond the realm of basic FEA and explore the world of what's possible with ABAQUS. Whether you need to understand the detailed behavior of a complex assembly, explore some concepts for a new design, or simulate a manufacturing process, ABAQUS provides the most complete and flexible solution to help you get the job done. And, ABAQUS offers a world-renowned support team to get you up to speed quickly, and to help you solve your next impossible challenge in finite element analysis.
* Evaluate Concepts Often the biggest benefit offinite element analysis can berealized by evaluating differentconcepts very early in thedesign process.
* Analyze Designs Understanding the detailedinteractions of a design, such ascontact and material effects is acritical part of the developmentprocess
* Simulate Processes Saving 5% on most manufacturing process translates into enormous savings. But to do it right, you'll need a powerful solutionà
Key features of the Abaqus 6.9 Extended Functionality release
* A new iterative equation solver offers significant performance enhancements for simulations involving large, well-conditioned, blocky structures.
* Enhancements to the general direct-integration dynamic procedure make Abaqus/Standard an effective option for a broad range of dynamic simulations, in particular unstable quasi-static problems.
* Several enhancements have been made to the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) analysis capabilities in Abaqus/Explicit:
* An Eulerian mesh can now scale and translate during an analysis to follow the deformation of a surface or material. This option, which can also be defined in Abaqus/CAE, allows you to create small, efficient meshes in applications that involve large translations or deformations.
* Eulerian boundary conditions can now be defined in Abaqus/CAE.
* Contour integrals are now available as output when modeling fracture mechanics using the extended finite element method.
* Several existing analysis features can now be fully defined in Abaqus/CAE, including:
* Direct cyclic and low-cycle fatigue analyses.
* Model change definitions, which allow the deactivation and reactivation of model regions and contact pairs during an analysis.
* Cylindrical elements.
* You can analyze structures subject to blast loading using the CONWEP air blasting model in Abaqus/Explicit.
* New material models extend the capabilities for realistic simulation in Abaqus:
* Abaqus/Explicit now supports the Mohr-Coulomb plasticity model and the clay plasticity model.
* Viscoelasticity behavior can now be modeled with anisotropic elasticity and with the unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite damage model.
* The surface and tet meshing algorithms in Abaqus/CAE have been enhanced to provide improved performance and robustness.
* Material orientations can now be created in Abaqus/CAE based on the normal direction of the underlying geometry topology.
* Several enhancements to the Geometry Edit toolset in Abaqus/CAE provide greater precision and broader scope when systematically adjusting the geometry of a model in preparation for meshing.
* Shell geometry in Abaqus/CAE can be rendered with its actual thickness based on the shell section definition, creating a more realistic representation of your model.
