Product Details

ABAQUS is a finite element analysis program.

The following ABAQUS Products are site-licensed for Stanford University:

• ABAQUS/STANDARD, provides analysis technology to solve "traditional implicit finite element analyses, such as static, dynamics, thermal, all powered with implicit infinite element analyses, such as static, dynamics, thermal, all powered with the widest range of contact and nonlinear material options" (please check: http://www.abaqus.com/products/products_overview.html )
• ABAQUS/Explicit, provides analysis technology to solve traditional implicit finite element analyses using an explicit approach appropriate in many situations, such as drop test, crushing and many manufacturing processes.
• ABAQUS/CAE, provides a complete modeling and visualization environment for ABAQUS analysis products with direct access to CAD models.
