(Dassault: Veliz-Villacoublay, France) -- Dassault Systèmes, a leader in 3-D and product life-cycle management (PLM) solutions, has announced new nonlinear structural optimization, coupled multiphysics, and high-performance computing technology available in Abaqus 6.11, the unified finite element analysis (FEA) product suite from SIMULIA.

Abaqus 6.11 delivers on SIMULIA’s strategic commitment to provide scalable, high-quality, realistic simulation solutions with new capabilities and more than 100 customer-requested enhancements.

SIMULIA customers in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, consumer packaged goods, energy, and life sciences, are using Abaqus to explore the real-world physical behavior of products and materials to improve performance, reliability, and safety while reducing development time and costs.

Key features of Abaqus 6.11

Multiphysics:
• Electromagnetics solver for problems requiring time-harmonic eddy current analysis, such as the hardening of a bearing surface due to induction
• Smoothed particle hydrodynamics capability for modeling violent free-surface flows, such as fluid sloshing
• Ability to define a spatially varying velocity when specifying
