The world is nonlinear: 8 benefits of using Abaqus Benefit 6: Fracture/failure Abaqus offers different tools to assess material rupture or crack growth. When field failures occur, these can be analyzed to simulate the post-failure effect on the entire system, potentially evaluating the design of “fail safe”...

The world is nonlinear: 8 benefits of using Abaqus Benefit 5: Large deformation Abaqus is well suited to handle large deformations, which may occur in a wide variety of cases. As an example, high plastic deformation of metals or plastics is a possible form of large deformation....

This post describes the standard Abaqus 2023 GA installation procedure. 4RealSim has created a detailed Abaqus 2023 installation guide for our customers. Send an email to support@4realsim.com to obtain the guide. Before you start This installation manual assumes that the license server is already operational. Abaqus 2023 download Navigate to...

This document provides information on new and enhanced functionality delivered in the Abaqus 2023 GA release as well as functionality added in the first four FD (Fix Pack) releases of Abaqus 2022. Please refer to the Abaqus Release Notes in the 2023 SIMULIA User Assistance...

The world is nonlinear: 8 benefits of using Abaqus Benefit 4: Multiphysics Abaqus supports various forms of multiphysics FE analysis, among which fully and sequentially coupled thermal stress analysis, electromagnetic, electrochemical, acoustic simulations or fluid structure simulations (FSI). As both Abaqus/Standard (implicit solver generally used for quasi-static...

4RealSim has a team with decades of experience in developing Python scripts. Contact sales@4realsim.com to ask for our help to automate tasks in Abaqus/CAE. Abaqus Python scripting Scripting in Abaqus is done with Pyhon and is a powerful way to replace manual tasks and thus helps reducing...

The world is nonlinear: 8 benefits of using Abaqus Benefit 3: Efficient Substructures When simulating large FE models, it is sometimes useful to work on substructures to reduce the computing time. A substructure is a a collection of elements from which the internal degrees of freedom have...

Bird strike simulation expert A misguided flock of birds can cripple a plane. New aircrafts are designed to increase the survivability of the different aerospace structures when colliding into birds. 4RealSim has decades of experience in bird strike simulations, both for civil and military applications. Contact...

The world is nonlinear: 8 benefits of using Abaqus Benefit 2: Contact Modeling In real-world applications, very complex contact scenarios can develop when large assemblies are considered. Abaqus is by far considered one of the best FEA codes at handling all forms of contact. Contact can be...

The world is nonlinear: 8 benefits of using Abaqus Benefit 1: Nonlinear Performance When Abaqus was released in 1978, its basic element formulations were implemented using fully nonlinear equations. Still today, this core foundation enables the developers of Abaqus to create much more realistic FEA aspects to...
