You can model any physically reasonable combination of elements, materials, procedures, and loading sequences. What makes Abaqus uniquely powerful is its modularity. With Abaqus, you can simulate conductive and convective heat transfer, mass diffusion, acoustics, piezoelectricity, and electrochemistry either independently, sequentially coupled, or fully coupled with the stress analysis. However, Abaqus offers more than just stress analysis. Beyond metals, Abaqus can simulate rubber and polymers, reinforced concrete, glass and ceramics, crushable or resilient foam, and geotechnical materials like soils and rock. Abaqus has an equally extensive library of material models that can simulate stress and deformation in isotropic and anisotropic metals at low and high temperatures, at low and high strain rates, and at small and large strains. With an extensive library of element types, it can model nearly any geometry. Abaqus is truly a general-purpose finite element-based software package.

Unless that software has been designed to exploit the true generality of the method, the analyst will become frustrated by the gap between the method's theoretical potential and the unnecessary limitations imposed by the software. Supported platforms and configurations are subject to change without notice.Finite Element Analysis (FEA) reaches the desk of the engineering analyst as a software package.

The output includes the processor specification and the number of processors and other system parameters such as graphics details (if applicable), the amount of physical and virtual memory, and file system details.įinal configurations depend on successful testing outcomes. The date listed in the individual system configuration records indicates the date the system configuration was recorded, not the date of qualification. The records contain details of system configurations used during formal qualification testing. Qualified Platform Configurations for Abaqus? for additional details on supported vs. See What is the Difference Between Supported vs. Test configurations listed here represent the subset of supported Abaqus configurations which have undergone, or are scheduled for, formal qualification testing. Test configurations are carefully selected to assure we can effectively and efficiently support all the configurations within the specified ranges.

Given the large number of possible configuration permutations, even for a single platform, SIMULIA tests only a sample of the possible configurations. All test configurations for a particular platform are supported using the same Abaqus software build. Headings for each test configuration list the operating system and processor architecture.
