The Abaqus suite consists of three core products - Abaqus/Standard, Abaqus/Explicit and Abaqus/
CAE . Each of these packages offers additional, optional modules that address specialized capabilities required by some customers.Abaqus/Standard provides Abaqus analysis technology to solve traditional implicit
finite element analysis , including static, dynamic, and thermal analyses, all powered with the widest range of contact andnonlinear material options. Abaqus/Standard also has optional add-on and interface products that address design sensitivity analysis, offshore engineering, and integration with third party software, e.g., plastic injection molding analysis.Abaqus/Explicit provides Abaqus analysis technology focused on transient dynamics and quasi-static analyses using an explicit time integration, which is appropriate in many applications, such as drop tests, crushing, and manufacturing processes.
Abaqus/CAE provides a complete modeling and visualization environment for Abaqus analysis products. With direct access to
CAD models, advanced meshing and visualization, and with an exclusive view towards Abaqus analysis products, Abaqus/CAE is the modeling environment of choice for many Abaqus users.ee also
