Simulated deformation of fluid-filled containers using Abaqus fluid–structure interaction (FSI) tools. Many engineering systems are influenced by more than one physical phenomenon. Whether it’s thermal expansion, fluid flow, or electromagnetic forces, accurately predicting product behavior requires more than just structural simulation. Abaqus provides a unified platform where multiple physics interact seamlessly, helping you simulate complex real-world conditions with confide

Visualizing contact between twisted cylindrical parts in Abaqus. Contact interactions are central to many engineering simulations, whether you're modeling brakes, gears, crash events, or manufacturing processes. Misrepresenting contact behavior can lead to inaccurate results and product failure. Abaqus provides a powerful and efficient approach to simulate these interactions with high reliability. Benefit 2: Contact Modeling In complex assemblies, components rarely operate in

Nonlinear deformation and stress visualization in a bolted joint using Abaqus Capturing real-world product behavior requires more than basic linear assumptions. Most engineering scenarios involve complexity, including large deformations, material yielding, and evolving contact conditions. That is why Abaqus was built as a nonlinear solver from the very beginning. This post highlights how Abaqus manages nonlinearity and why that matters for accurate simulation results. Benefit

Detailed Abaqus mesh of a shaft assembly using efficient substructures. Complex simulations don’t always require detailed analysis across the entire structure. In many engineering workflows, only a specific region needs fine resolution, while the rest of the model can remain simplified.
