Complementary Tools
The Abaqus Unified FEA Suite enables users to develop custom applications and integrate solutions from Alliance Partners or their own in-house applications. SIMULIA offers supported Analysis Interfaces for Moldflow, MSC.ADAMS, and MADYMO. A family of crash dummy models from FTSS is available for use in crash and occupant safety simulations. A variety of customizable Extensions for Abaqus, developed by our regional offices offer efficiencies for specific industry simulation needs such as printed wiring board (PWB) modeling, composite filament winding or sheet metal forming.
SIMULIA also provides fe-safe, from Safe Technology for accurate fatigue and failure predictions.
Additional plug-ins, macros, and python scripts created by end-users and partners are accessible on the Abaqus Process Automation Portal.
Extending the Capabilities of Abaqus FEA
Analysis Interfaces 
Abaqus Interface for Moldflow
This add-on analysis interface translates results from an injection molding simulation performed using Moldflow Plastics Insight into Abaqus model data to account for material orientation and residual stress in a subsequent simulation of the molded component. The MOLDFLOW injection molding simulation of polymers provides information on the thermo-mechanical properties and residual stresses of a part resulting from the manufacturing process. Mechanical properties (including the effects of oriented fibers, if present) are calculated by MOLDFLOW and written to the interface files as orthotropic constants at points through the thickness of the part.
Abaqus Interface for MSC.ADAMS
The optional Abaqus Interface for MSC.ADAMS allows you to use stiffness data from an Abaqus model to represent flexible components when performing a multi-body dynamic analysis in MSC.ADAMS. The Abaqus Interface for MSC.ADAMS converts the stiffness matrix from an Abaqus model of a component into the format required by ADAMS/Flex for a multibody dynamics simulation.
Cosimulation with MADYMO
This add-on analysis capability for Abaqus/Explicit can be used to perform vehicle-occupant crash safety simulations by coupling Abaqus/Explicit with MADYMO. The cosimulation technique can now be used to solve a crash safety simulation by directly coupling Abaqus/Explicit with the occupant simulation program MADYMO. For a crash safety simulation the vehicle is modeled using Abaqus/Explicit and the occupant or the pedestrian is modeled using MADYMO. The Abaqus User's Guide for Crash Safety Simulation Using Abaqus/Explicit and MADYMO is available via the Abaqus Online Support System (AOSS).
