"Best CAE software for Implicit Nonlinear FEA"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Abaqus?

Abaqus Contact definitions are the best. Also the material model library is broader than any other software package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Abaqus?

Preprocessing in Abaqus is way behind pre-postprocessing programmes like Hypermesh and Ansa. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Non linear buckling analysis of Icosahedron composite shell under external pressure"

5/5

What do you like best about Abaqus?

Abaqus is pretty straightforward and very sophisticated while applying boundary conditions, generating a mesh and creating a step. Also, the python script usage to run the Abaqus is pretty convenient too. I like how the software has different mesh options and you have ability to select each face with different mesh type and mesh size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Abaqus?

There was nothing to dislike. But It would be great to have a feature to generate the ABD matrix for the Composite shells based on user inputs in the software itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Abaqus:

Please use this software and give it a try. It is definitely worth the time and money. Help section in Abaqus is also well maintained so f you do not have any past experience in using this software , help section would help you in all the possible way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Abaqus solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are trying to get the buckling pressure for an icosahedron composite shell under external pressure. GUI is really great. It was really easy to get multiple buckling pressure based on various external pressure magnitude. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best FEA package present in market"

5/5

What do you like best about Abaqus?

One of the best software for nonlinear analysis. Various material model present in software. Ability to analyse for latest model by using VUMAT or UMAT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Abaqus?

I May Say its complete package, so bit higher cost compared with other competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Abaqus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mostly solving problems related to CRASH or IMPACT analysis on composites and metal structure. Easy to use, the Latest material model (Hasin Damage Model ) for composite is available for analysis with shell elements. Want to use solid element! VUMAT is available in the public domain. So one of the Best software available for Impact Analysis which is equally qualified to solve other nonlinear analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
