Discover the Abaqus/Standard Advantage

Abaqus/Standard is a versatile finite-element solver designed for simulating static and structural dynamic events, with applications ranging from thermal stress analysis and fracture mechanics to heat-transfer modeling and pore pressure evaluations. It offers robust linear dynamics capabilities, including the efficient AMS EigenSolver for identifying natural frequencies in complex models. The solver provides a comprehensive library of elements and material models, from linear elasticity to advanced plasticity and damage mechanics, and can be extended through user-coded subroutines for materials, elements, and boundary conditions. Abaqus/Standard integrates seamlessly with Abaqus/CAE for pre- and post-processing and works cohesively with Abaqus/Explicit, allowing users to switch between the two solvers depending on whether an implicit or explicit solution method is best suited for specific analysis needs.
