Abstract 

Whether enabling advanced simulations by analysts using our established standalone products or powering the next generation of MODSIM workflows on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, Abaqus FEA is at the core of SIMULIA’s structural simulation capabilities, and so SIMULIA R&D continually invests heavily in the development of new simulation technology within the Abaqus solvers. This presentation covers major developments that have been introduced over the past year including multiphysics capabilities enabling battery and other coupled-field workflows, contact and constraints enhancements including wear modeling and new submodeling paradigms, new capabilities for multiscale and multifunctional materials, new linear dynamics functionality and performance improvements, new solver technologies bringing significant performance improvements to broad varieties of analysis, and scripting platform enhancements enabling the use of modern Python 3 functionality.
