SIMULATE REALISTIC PERFORMANCE WITH ADVANCED MULTIPHYSICS SOLUTIONS Nonlinear Partner Solutions Abaqus Multiphysics

ABAQUS UNIFIED FEA Industry Challenges In the race to deliver new and innovative products to market faster, manufacturers face many challenges, including globalization, cost reductions, and shorter development cycles. To gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace, manufacturers have started to leverage the robust capabilities of realistic simulation to lessen dependency on physical testing, reduce part weight, or evaluate the use of alternative materials during the product design phase to ensure optimum product performance. Abaqus Unified FEA Solution SIMULIA delivers a scalable suite of...

Abaqus offers a sophisticated environment for accelerating contact modeling and mesh creation. Image courtesy of Ford Motor Company MODELING Abaqus offers a hybrid modeling approach that enables users to work with geometry-based data alongside imported meshes without associated geometry. It also provides a powerful modeling and visualization environment focused on complete support of Abaqus solver technology, customization capabilities, proven capture and reuse of analysis workflows, and the flexibility to implement user-defined subroutines. Feature-based, parametric modeling also makes Abaqus/CAE...

ADVANCED ANALYSIS Linear & Nonlinear The implicit solution technology in Abaqus is ideal for solving static and low-speed dynamic events, such as sealing pressure in a gasket joint or crack propagation in a composite airplane fuselage. Many industrial applications today involve the interaction of multiple physical phenomena. For example, in order to design safe and effective drug-eluting stents, engineers must account for the interplay between blood flow and stent deformation. In addition to providing basic and advanced linear analysis capabilities, Abaqus also supports the general application...

CUSTOMER STORY SMITH & NEPHEW STUDIES PERFORMANCE OF REPLACEMENT JOINTS Damage to the knee—whether from a sports injury, serious accident, or arthritis—is life-changing because of its importance to the body. While knee replacement surgery has become a successful solution when injury and arthritis impair mobility, designers continue to work on improving functionality and lifespan of the implant’s metal and plastic components. Smith & Nephew’s European Centre for Knee Research uses Abaqus for a variety of product design and development studies, including realistic simulation of knee implant components...
