Selling a manufacturing production line can be complex, let alone designing and building it. Which is why it’s essential to demonstrate to your customers that you can accurately deliver what’s expected.

| Feature | SIMULIA Abaqus | Standard FEA Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Nonlinear Analysis | World-renowned for robustly solving highly nonlinear problems, including complex contact, large deformations, and advanced material models (hyperelasticity, plasticity). | Often limited to linear analysis or possess basic nonlinear capabilities that struggle with convergence and accuracy in complex scenarios. |
| Unified Solvers | Integrates both implicit (Abaqus/Standard) and explicit (Abaqus/Explicit) solvers in a single environment, enabling seamless analysis of static, low-speed dynamic, and high-speed impact events. | Typically, they require separate products or licenses for implicit and explicit analysis, creating a disjointed workflow and potential data transfer issues. |
| Multiphysics Capability | Offers fully coupled multiphysics simulations (e.g., thermal-stress, structural-acoustic) within a unified framework, providing a comprehensive understanding of real-world interactions. | Multiphysics simulations are often limited or require co-simulation with third-party tools, which can compromise accuracy and efficiency. |
| Customization & Automation | Provides a powerful Python scripting API for extensive customization and automation of repetitive tasks, enabling integration into larger, automated design and simulation workflows. | Customization options are often restricted to the graphical user interface, with limited or non-existent scripting capabilities for deep process automation. |
