Test Stress and Strain with Accuracy

With all your data on the cloud you can easily track data, enable traceable revisions and easily collaborate and share data with stakeholders through a web browser, and make decisions faster.

 

Test Stress and Strain with Accuracy

Test Stress and Strain with Accuracy

Abaqus technology ensures accuracy for complex nonlinear analysis so you can test structural response on large assemblies and count on the results. Structural analysis includes:

  • Implicit and explicit methods for drop tests, impact simulations and durability conditions
  • Nonlinear analysis combining contact with friction, large displacement and complex materials
  • General contact for simple setup of complex contact conditions involving multiple bodies
  • Product performance assessment including static, frequency, thermal, buckling, implicit/explicit dynamics and linear dynamics

Durability analysis to predict fatigue life

Durability and Mechanics

Predict fatigue life for components and assemblies

  • Strain life fatigue to accurately predict high and low cycle life
  • Multiple load events can be used to replicate entire test schedules, including inter-event transitions and manufacturing effects
  • A database of fatigue materials with high-quality stress and strain-based data for over 350 common materials
  • Ability to use test data to define, calibrate and use a wide range of material models suitable for simulations
