SIMULIA Multiphysics Platform / SIMULIA Direct Coupling

SIMULIA Direct Coupling

The SIMULIA Direct Coupling Interface is a key component of the SIMULIA multiphysics platform, allowing us to couple SIMULIA simulation products with each other, with partner products, or with customer-developed software codes. This approach provides direct coupling for cases where customers request a deep, direct link to Abaqus without intervening software.

The number of direct coupling co-simulation partnerships is growing and will continue to grow in the near future.

The couplings between Abaqus and AcuSolve and Abaqus and MADYMO are actively supported and qualified by SIMULIA, ACUSIM Software, and TASS.

• AcuSolve from ACUSIM Software
  Use the SIMULIA Direct Coupling Interface to solve complex nonlinear fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems.

• 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).

In Abaqus 6.8, additional SIMULIA Partner products that interact with Abaqus through the Direct Coupling Interface are:
