Water and Air Analysis Package
Introduction to Water and Air Simulation and Analysis in Abaqus 1. Overview Abaqus is a powerful finite element analysis (FEA) software that allows simulation of solid mechanics, fluid interactions, and coupled physical phenomena. While it is primarily a structural analysis tool, Abaqus also provides capabilities to model fluid-like behavior, such as water and air, through […]
Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) Package
What is Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete? Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) is an advanced cementitious composite material characterized by: Very high compressive strength (>150 MPa). Significant tensile strength and ductility are achieved with steel or synthetic fibers. Dense microstructure with low permeability, leading to exceptional durability. Superior energy absorption and toughness compared […]
Wood Analysis Package in Abaqus
Introduction to Wood Analysis and Simulation Wood analysis and simulation is the study and modeling of wood as an engineering and biological material to predict its performance, behavior, and properties under different conditions. Since wood is a natural, heterogeneous, and anisotropic material (its properties vary depending on the direction of the grain), analyzing and simulating […]
Masonry Wall Analysis Package in Abaqus
Introduction to Masonry Wall Analysis and Simulation Masonry walls have been used for centuries as load-bearing and non-load-bearing structural components in buildings. They are typically constructed from bricks, blocks, or stones bonded with mortar, forming a composite material system. While masonry is durable and economical, its structural behavior is complex due to its heterogeneous, anisotropic, […]

ABAQUS plugin for Concrete damaged plasticity
Concrete Damaged Plasticity (CDP) is a material model in ABAQUS designed to simulate the nonlinear behavior of concrete under various loading conditions, including tension, compression, and cyclic loading. It captures key features such as: Cracking in tension (brittle failure), Crushing in compression (plastic deformation), Stiffness degradation (damage accumulation) , Time-dependent effects (creep, shrinkage). CDP model […]
Rock and Stone Analysis Package in Abaqus
Introduction to Rock and Stone Analysis package The mechanical behavior of rock and stone under dynamic loading conditions is a critical area of study in geotechnical, civil, and mining engineering. Natural and engineered rock masses are frequently subjected to dynamic forces arising from blasting, earthquakes, impact loads, machine vibrations, and excavation activities. Unlike static loading, […]
