Efficient Access to Your Technical Reference, no Installation Required

When using SIMULIA products like Abaqus, Isight, Tosca, or fe-safe, accessing accurate and up-to-date documentation is essential for your workflow. Since the 2016 release, Dassault Systèmes has transitioned to a cloud-based documentation system, eliminating the need for local installations. This modern platform offers seamless access to a robust, always-updated reference. 



Why Use the Online Documentation? 

Starting with Abaqus 2017 and newer, the traditional locally-installed help system has been replaced by the standardized Dassault Systèmes documentation interface. With this cloud-based system, users benefit from: 

  • Real-time content updates and version-specific material 

  • Exalead search engine for fast, intelligent navigation 

  • Multi-product coverage for Abaqus, Isight, Tosca, fe-safe, and more 

  • No installation overhead, access it from any device with an internet connection 

 

Whether you’re troubleshooting solver behavior, reviewing keyword syntax, or searching for best practices, the online documentation offers a streamlined and efficient reference experience. 



How to Access the Documentation 

  • Visit help.3ds.com 

  • Log in using your 3DEXPERIENCE ID (DS Passport) 

  • Navigate to SIMULIA Established Products 

  • Browse or search documentation for Abaqus, Isight, Tosca, or fe-safe directly
