Paul Sorensen co-founded the company later known as Hibbitt, Karlsson & Sorensen, Inc., (HKS) in Jan, 1978 to develop and market ABAQUS software. The early history of ABAQUS is very tightly connected with the early history of MARC Analysis Research Corporation. The name of Abaqus was initially written as ABAQUS when it was first released. Abaqus/CAE uses the fox-toolkit for GUI development. The Abaqus products use the open-source scripting language Python for scripting and customization. Abaqus/Electromagnetic, a Computational electromagnetics software application which solves advanced computational electromagnetic problems.Abaqus/CFD, a Computational Fluid Dynamics software application which provides advanced computational fluid dynamics capabilities with extensive support for preprocessing and postprocessing provided in Abaqus/CAE.Abaqus/Explicit, a special-purpose Finite-Element analyzer that employs explicit integration scheme to solve highly nonlinear systems with many complex contacts under transient loads.Abaqus/Standard, a general-purpose Finite-Element analyzer that employs implicit integration scheme (traditional).A subset of Abaqus/CAE including only the post-processing module can be launched independently in the Abaqus/Viewer product. It is a software application used for both the modeling and analysis of mechanical components and assemblies (pre-processing) and visualizing the finite element analysis result. Abaqus/CAE, or ' Complete Abaqus Environment' (a backronym with a root in Computer- Aided Engineering ).The Abaqus product suite consists of five core software products: The name and logo of this software are based on the abacus calculation tool. Computer-aided engineering, Finite Element AnalysisĪbaqus FEA (formerly ABAQUS) is a software suite for finite element analysis and computer-aided engineering, originally released in 1978.
