SIMULIA Direct Coupling

SIMULIA direct coupling is a key component of SIMULIA’s open multiphysics strategy. It enables the coupling of SIMULIA simulation products with each other, with partner products, or with customer-developed software codes. This approach provides direct link with Abaqus without the need for third-party coupling tools.

Several partners are leveraging the direct co-simulation coupling with Abaqus including:

• Altair Engineering

• CD-adapco

• Software Cradle Co.

Additionally, vehicle occupant safety crash simulations can be conducted using direct co-simulation coupling of Abaqus/Explicit and MADYMO.

• MADYMO from TASS

  Co-simulation 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 co-simulation 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 SIMULIA Online Support System (SOSS).
