🎆 Welcome to the “Abaqus Fundamentals  - Blog Series”.

What is this blog series about?

SIMULIA offers an advanced simulation product portfolio with industry-leading technology in powerful, user-friendly environments. SIMULIA’s technology range covers simulation disciplines such as structural mechanics, computational fluid dynamics, multibody dynamics, and electromagnetic field simulation for a true multi-physics simulation approach. The SIMULIA portfolio in the structures domain includes Abaqus, fe-safe, and Tosca Structure technologies. Abaqus is a market- and technology leader in linear and nonlinear finite element analysis. Both implicit and explicit solution techniques are available and complimentary.

Do you know that the 3DEXPERIENCE SIMULIA structural Analysis is powered by the same Abaqus solver technology?  We are glad to introduce the Abaqus technology blog series for this calendar year. This is a good opportunity to understand the fundamental concepts behind the SIMULIA structural Analysis for first-time 3DEXPERIENCE users. It will be a good brush-up on the fundamentals for Abaqus expert users. Our blog series will focus on the following main topics:
