Abaqus/Explicit, a special-purpose Finite-Element analyzer that employs explicit integration scheme to solve highly nonlinear systems with many complex contacts under transient loads.Abaqus/Standard, a general-purpose Finite-Element analyzer that employs implicit integration scheme (traditional).A subset of Abaqus/CAE including only the post-processing module can be launched independently in the Abaqus/Viewer product. It is a software application used for both the modeling and analysis of mechanical components and assemblies (pre-processing) and visualizing the finite element analysis result. Abaqus/CAE, or ' Complete Abaqus Environment' (a backronym with a root in Computer- Aided Engineering ).The Abaqus product suite consists of five core software products: The name and logo of this software are based on the abacus calculation tool. Computer-aided engineering, Finite Element AnalysisĪbaqus FEA (formerly ABAQUS) is a software suite for finite element analysis and computer-aided engineering, originally released in 1978.
