The Leader in FEA Software for Realistic Simulation

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software is a foundational technology in modern product development, enabling you to move beyond the limitations of physical testing. The right finite element analysis software allows you to virtually test, predict real-world behavior, and optimize designs with confidence. However, a major challenge is choosing a solution that can handle true-to-life complexity without a prohibitive learning curve. You need an FEA program that is powerful enough for your experts but accessible enough to drive your design process forward.

Leverage Unified Solvers for Any Scenario

Our finite element software includes both Abaqus/Standard (implicit) for static and low-speed events, and Abaqus/Explicit for high-speed dynamics like crash and impact. Tackle complex multiphysics problems like thermal-stress coupling with ease. 

Automate & Customize for Peak Productivity

This FEA program allows you to automate repetitive tasks and create custom workflows using the powerful Python scripting language. Integrate Abaqus into larger process automation and design optimization workflows with SIMULIA Isight.

Aerospace: Ensuring Reliability with Simulation

The French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) uses SIMULIA Abaqus to augment and replace physical tests, ensuring the safety and robustness of nuclear defense systems. With simulation, engineers can:

• Reduce reliance on physical tests while maintaining confidence in results.
• Safeguard product robustness across the entire lifecycle, from theoretical studies to dismantling.
• Perform large-scale, 3D multiphysics simulations on hundreds of cores, shortening design cycles and improving accuracy.

Consumer Packaged Goods: Accelerating Design with Simulation

Plastic Technologies, Inc. (PTI) utilizes SIMULIA Abaqus to enhance and expedite the design of lightweight plastic containers, reducing the need for extensive physical prototyping. With simulation, engineers can:

• Identify optimal lightweighting strategies without compromising structural integrity.
• Simulate complex blow-molding processes to predict material distribution and performance.
• Achieve up to 90% correlation between simulated and physical test results, ensuring design accuracy.

Industrial Equipment: Reducing Warranty Costs & Field Failures

Manufacturers like Globe Trailers use SIMULIA’s fe-safe fatigue analysis to catch durability issues early, helping to double output while improving quality and minimizing recalls.  

• Reduce warranty costs by eliminating potential failure points in the design phase.
• Make stronger, safer, and more reliable products through accurate fatigue prediction.
• Optimize designs to use less material without sacrificing durability. 

Life Sciences: Improving Patient Outcomes with Predictive Simulation

Medtech innovator FEops uses SIMULIA Abaqus to create patient-specific digital twins for planning structural heart interventions, reducing simulation time from days to hours.

• A 200-patient clinical trial found that planning with FEops HEARTguide™ led to significantly improved procedural efficiency and outcomes.
• Accurately predict the interaction between a medical device and a patient's unique anatomy before the procedure.
• Get medical devices to market faster by reducing the need for physical prototypes and animal testing.
