SIMULIA Abaqus and SolidWorks Access the powerful and advanced simulation capabilities of Abaqus to validate realistic performance of your products! SIMULIA is the Dassault Systèmes brand for realistic simulation solutions, including Abaqus—the world’s technology-leading suite of finite element analysis software for linear and nonlinear analysis. SolidWorks and SIMULIA have jointly developed an interface for associative geometry transfer from SolidWorks to Abaqus. The SolidWorks Associative Interface allows you to easily transfer a part or assembly from SolidWorks to Abaqus/CAE. You can subsequently modify the model in SolidWorks and propagate these modifications to Abaqus/ CAE without losing any analysis features assigned to the model in Abaqus/CAE. The SolidWorks Associative Interface is useful when you are iterating on the design of a model in SolidWorks based on the results of analyses conducted in Abaqus.
