The workflow of Abaqus is so straightforward. The material library is enormous; there are many predefined material models. Solvers are strong and allow users to adjust many parameters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Error messages are long and complicated to access. Fearture (edge, surface, vertice) numbering is not consistent between versions. Sometime license server stucks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy user interface. Previse and high quality results. Capable of handling all different types of analysis such as dynamic static thermal,fire, moving load with fortran code. Customized material models using fortran Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Meshing of complex geometry. Use of tet mesh for complex geometry sometimes gives error such as negative volume of elements which is very difficult to handle. Sometimes impossible and no way to resolve such error Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Abaqus is effective tool so as to evaluate FE models, structural interface is user friendly. It is comperatively easy to embed the material cards of materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When it compared to other FE programs, it is easy to use toolbars & kits but i need to perform more clicks than other competitors of Abaqus, it is creating timingwise create insufficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm analyzing basic models in Abaqus, it's best in non-linear cases. Tools and engineering selections are much more clear (up to matrix solution method etc.) than other softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Geometry interface is not good. I cannot make small geometrical changes comfortably. Mesh settings and check details must be improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the best thing the program cable of is solve any problems related to fracture mechanics and composite also can perform nonlinear analysis, you can define your own friction law even nolinear model,contact parameters as a function of pressure,gap and time!

one of the downsides us modeling fatigue problems XFEM needed to be taken into consideration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best for Non-linear structural analysis, Like crash simulation, Wave impact, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The computational fluid dynamics part can be added Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's nice to see the analysis ahead of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
