ABAQUS Student Edition Updated

By DE Editors

ABAQUS Student Edition Version 6.6 from Dassault Systemes (Paris, France) offers engineering students many of the simulation capabilities for vibration analysis, material failure characterization, tire modeling, and visualization that were made available earlier this year in the commercial version of ABAQUS 6.6.

ABAQUS Student Edition Version 6.6 complements ABAQUS Research Edition and ABAQUS Teaching Edition, which are used in academic institutions to train engineers in the use of finite element analysis (FEA) to solve real-world engineering problems.

ABAQUS software is in use at the university undergraduate, graduate, and research level at more than 1,000 sites worldwide. The software leverages the capabilities of ABAQUS/CAE, ABAQUS/Standard, and ABAQUS/Explicit to solve FEA problems of limited size (1,000 nodes) and is available for both the Windows XP and Windows 2000 Platforms.

The software can be purchased online at abaqus.com/student.
