=

Flexible scalability

Use tokens to run on additional cores. If you are in a need for extra simulation power, just order additional tokens.
=

Pricing model

The Abaqus pricing model not based on functionality, but on using X number of CPU & GPU Cores, and concurrent number of users.

SIMULIA Abaqus add-ons

Additional plugins to raise your efficiency

Abaqus associative interfaces

Be connected with your 3DCAD environment

=

Abaqus associative interface - CATIA V5

Use CATIA V5 Parts and Products in CAE. Materials and publications can be imported to the Abaqus model.  file formats like .CATPart and .CATProduct files can be imported in  CAE as well.
