Abaqus reaches the desk of engineering analysts as a robust Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software. It is designed to exploit the true generality of the theoretical potential of the method without imposing any unnecessary limitations. Abaqus assists engineers to simulate complex real-world problems for a wide range of industries and rely on it for advanced engineering simulations.

With an extensive library of element types, it can model nearly any geometry. Abaqus has an equally extensive library of material models. By using this library, you can simulate stress and deformation in isotropic and anisotropic metals at varying temperatures and strain rates. 

Beyond metals, Abaqus can simulate: •    Rubber and polymers •    Composites (including multi-scale materials) •    Reinforced concrete •    Glass and ceramics •    Crushable or resilient foam •    Geotechnical materials like soil and rock •    Adhesives •    Biological Tissue

However, Abaqus offers more than just stress analysis. Abaqus simplifies the simulation of conductive and convective heat transfer, mass diffusion, acoustics, piezoelectricity, pore pressure and electrochemistry either independently, sequentially coupled, or fully coupled with stress analyses.

Abaqus is uniquely powerful due to its modularity and flexibility. You can model any physically reasonable combination of elements, materials, procedures and loading sequences. With Abaqus, you can use any material with virtually any element (for composites, in a layer of an element). Abaqus enables you to bring your ideas to reality by allowing you to create and simulate your own models without limitations. You can subject your models to any sequence of static or dynamic loading histories.
