Abaqus in the 3DEXPERIENCE

3DEXPERIENCE structures roles, or Abaqus in the 3DEXPERIENCE, allow engineers from all
walks of life to perform comprehensive structural simulations covering statics, implicit and explicit
dynamics, acoustics and more, across a broad range of industrial applications.

Overview of Abaqus in the 3DEXPERIENCE

Imagine being able to build your Abaqus models directly using always up-to-date CAD from your designer in real time!

That is the power of Abaqus in the 3DEXPERIENCE. The same Abaqus solver you know and love with a fully updated graphical user interface and a host of improved features to make your life easier.

In the 3DEXPERIENCE, you are able to select the level of simulation capability based upon the expected level of complexity of your analysis and your budget.

And remember, each one of your engineers can have tailored tools based upon
their role within the organization – whether they’re a designer performing quick stress checks or a fully fledged Abaqus power user.

Abaqus in the 3DEXPERIENCE Add Ons

Composite Structures Analysis Engineer (SNE)

The composites analyst role allows end-to-end composite layup design, material modeling and cut-section evaluation. Minimize weight while maintaining structural performance, increasing certification confidence and understanding failure modes earlier on in the design phase.

Additive Manufacturing Analyst (AMF)

Design 3D printable parts and analyze thermo-mechanical behavior during printing. Realistic simulation of the additive manufacturing process enables companies to optimize part designs and process parameters for next generation products.

Simulation Process Engineer (SPF)

Optimize and automate your simulation; improve productivity and reduce time-consuming manual tasks by building and deploying automated simulation processes for all users in the organization.

Functional Generative Designer (GDE)

With the help of Topology Optimization, leverage 'get-it-right-first-time' design methodologies. Functional Generative Design allows you to quickly and easily optimize use of design space based on important parameters like stiffness and strength.

CAD Connectors

Work with your native CAD in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, minimizing rework for simulation studies. Available for SOLIDWORKS, CATIA V5, Inventor, Creo and more.

Cloud compute tokens (SRU)

Cloud compute tokens mean no more costly hardware! Traditional token model using Dassault’s cloud for solving.

Cloud compute credits (SUN)

Cloud compute credits are expendable and allow analysis to be performed on any number of cores up to 144. This means no more right sizing local installs or waiting days and days for large jobs to solve.

Abaqus in 3DEXPERIENCE FAQs

What is Abaqus in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform?

Abaqus in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform provides SIMULIA structural simulation capabilities using Abaqus solver technology within a connected engineering environment. Engineers can perform linear and nonlinear structural analysis, implicit and explicit dynamics, thermal analysis, and other advanced simulation workflows while working with shared product data.

How is Abaqus in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform different from standalone Abaqus?

Standalone Abaqus is a dedicated finite element analysis suite, while Abaqus in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform combines Abaqus simulation technology with integrated CAD connectivity, data management, collaboration, and role-based licensing. The underlying Abaqus technology remains central, but the workflow is more tightly connected to the broader product development environment.

What 3DEXPERIENCE roles are available for Abaqus structural simulation?

3DEXPERIENCE structural simulation is available through several roles with different capability levels, including Structural Designer, Structural Performance Engineer, Durability and Mechanics Engineer, and Structural Analysis Engineer. These roles range from guided linear structural analysis to advanced nonlinear, dynamic, fatigue, and comprehensive Abaqus-based simulation workflows.

Can Abaqus in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform perform nonlinear and explicit dynamic analysis?

Yes. Roles such as Structural Mechanics Engineer and Durability and Mechanics Engineer support advanced structural simulation including nonlinear analysis and implicit and explicit dynamics.
