Finite-Element Analysis


ABAQUS/Explicit

Hibbitt, Karlsson & Sorensen, Inc.

ABAQUS/Explicit is a transient dynamics program that serves advancednonlinear structural analysis needs. ABAQUS/Explicit has the standardinterface familiar to ABAQUS users as highly optimized for computationalperformance. ABAQUS is aimed at production analysis needs, so that useraspects such as ease of use, reliability, flexibility, and deficiencyreceive great attention.ABAQUS/Explicit has well-developed element and material libraries.Element formulations include beams, shells, and continuum elements forfinite rotation, finite strain calculations. Material models includeplasticity for metals, equations of state and a user subroutine interfacefor user material definition. Adiabatic heat generation due toinelasticity and a ductile failure model are also available.ABAQUS/Explicit automatically controls the step size to satisfy stabilitylimit requirements. It uses the standard ABAQUS problem definitionlanguage. A complete set of plotting options, print controls andversatile restart features are included as well as extensive post-processing capabilities.
