Abaqus (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Abaqus FEA is a suite of software applications for finite element analysis and computer-aided engineering, originally released in 1978. The name and logo of this software is derived from abacus and the Greek word, "abax," meaning "board covered with sand." Abaqus is used in the automotive, aerospace, and industrial products industries. The product is popular with academic and research institutions due to the wide material modeling capability, and the program's ability to be customized. Abaqus also provides a good collection of multiphysics capabilities, such as coupled acoustic-structural, piezoelectric, and structural-pore capabilities, making it attractive for production-level simulations where multiple fields need to be coupled.
