ABAQUS/Standard

ABAQUS/Standard is a general-purpose finite element analysis program with special emphasis on advanced linear and nonlinear structural engineering and heat transfer applications. ABAQUS has extensive material, element, and procedure libraries. Material models include plasticity for metals, soils, plastics, foam, composites, and concrete as well as rubber elasticity. Element formulations include beams, shells, and continuum elements allowing finite rotation and finite strain calculations. Analysis procedures include capabilities for statics, dynamics, eigenvalue extraction, soil consolidation, acoustics, coupled temperature-displacement, and heat transfer. A superelement/substructuring capability is also available.
