"Best Simulation Software"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Abaqus?

I mostly like the simulation capability and the speed of creating very difficult elements in meshing while performing Finite Element Analysis. I have used this software in my bachelors program of engineering. It is very fast while creating geometry and running the simulations. I have also worked with Solidworks, which generally crashes as the file gets bigger. So it is best for simulations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Abaqus?

Well, it is the best software but sometimes Graphical User Interface. I am sure they are working on it. I have also seen a trend tha mostly ABAQUS is used or academic purpose while software's like Solidworks, Ansys, CATIA they are used in the industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Abaqus:

For any simulation study, it is one of the best software's. I rate Abaqus more over Ansys because of better Graphical User Interface (among them( and better speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In my Engineering Bachelors program at NED University, we have a course of Finite Element Analysis and we use this software quite a bit. We solve some very basic problems of applying loads and calculating the deflections. Truss problems of calculating stresses and deflections. I find this sotware amazing in simulation studies, FEA anaysis, CFD analysis etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Positive Experience"

3/5

What do you like best about Abaqus?

1. The features are comprehensive and cover various types of analysis.

2. Options to run each simulation are farely flexible.

3. Powerful features for studying nonlinear materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Abaqus?

1. The user interface is not friendly, e.g., CAD section, assembly section, visualization menus, export options, and etc. I would say Abaqus is very difficult to learn and work with.

2. The tutorial is also confusing for starters. I personally used YouTube videos to learn.

3. Even though Abaqus' options are extensive but sometimes makes it confusing for the user to choose one or distinguish the difference for his/her studies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Abaqus:

I would recommend to break down the problem in smaller steps before implementing the whole in Abaqus, otherwise it can get confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use Abaqus to model nonlinear materials and solve problems in soft robotics. I found the flexibility of the tools to define the material properties as the best benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reviewing on basis of my term project in Masters."

4/5

What do you like best about Abaqus?

The overall procedure of defining a problem is superb. Like what we do in ansys it's too Messy.

Here in abaqus we can edit everything in a single window which is not possible in ansys. I have tried simulation of wire drawing process and found that the difficulty level is more in ansys as compare to abaqus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Abaqus?

Modeling software should be more powerful, and sometimes software didn't accept my .sldprt model while sometimes I'm not able to apply constraints on a sketch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Abaqus:

We can go for this simulation package, it has so many advantages over other softwares and also it's easier than other available packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have done simulation of wire drawing process and simulation of rotating disc and found that the nature of the result is same as we required. With proper graphs and charts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An effective dynamic solver"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Abaqus?

Results for ductile metals are quite accurate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Abaqus?

Graphics and UI could have been much better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Abaqus:

The stress and dynamic results are pretty convincing and close to the reality. You must give it a try and compare it with lab tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Majorly stress simulation for the ductile materials. And I observed that the results are pretty much close to the actual scenario. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best software for FEA simulations"

4/5

What do you like best about Abaqus?

High performance computing even with very large number of elements and it has a simple user interface that anyone can get a grab on Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Abaqus?

Nothing that I can really think off. Get frustrating with the convergence issue , but again that can happen with other software’s too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you like best about Abaqus?

The idea of being providing a state of the art options for contact definition, the true insight of what is actually going on not like others where you click and its done (which is often not accurate) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Abaqus?

No unit creates a bit of confusion especially when creating a new material Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Abaqus:

Using Abaqus has made my life easy, i highly recommend it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have solved a lot of problem, like distortion created by incoming projectile etc, It has benefited great in showing me how the material deform and break which enabled me to better design the system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Abaqus the best software for structure non-linear analysis"

5/5

What do you like best about Abaqus?

What I like most is the fact that with Abaqus you can really visualize digitally what in the real world happen from a point of view of structural analysis, so translating it in more powerful words, you can obtain results very similar to reality but with just simple commands Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Abaqus?

What I dislike most is the interface of the program, it is not very handy. Moreover the creation of the mesh is not so easy as it is for other software, in fact you have to cut the surface in a proper way in order to obtain a fine mesh with high quality elements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Abaqus:

Before using Abaqus please give a read to the manuel at least for the most common commands, in order to understand well also the bulk file you create with the graphic interface. The knowledge is not essential but sometimes when you have to do some changes in your model, it is easier to use the bulk file and so the editor softare (block note, notepad...) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am solving non-linear structur analys for several type of structure such as composite, sandwich panels, beams, plates and so on. It is possible to analyse also more complex structure such as the aeronautical ones which are the main field I work in.

It is very useful also for the studying of vibration modes, which are used also for understading if the model has been created well ( if coincident nodes, elements, curves...are merged) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
