Abaqus Extended Functionality Documentation 6.10

Abaqus Extended Functionality Documentation is the official reference for advanced and specialized capabilities in the Abaqus finite element analysis suite. Developed by Dassault Systemes Simulia Corp., it provides in-depth guidance for power users who need to go beyond standard workflows—covering advanced analysis procedures, customization, and automation. The documentation is fully searchable and cross-referenced, with conceptual overviews, step-by-step procedures, keyword and API references, examples, and best practices to help you implement robust, efficient simulations.

Highlights include:

• Advanced analysis topics such as nonlinear mechanics, contact, fracture, composites, multiphysics coupling, and co-simulation.
• Customization through user subroutines (e.g., UMAT, VUMAT, UEL) and Python scripting for Abaqus automation and plug-in development.
• Detailed keyword and input file references, solver controls, and performance/HPC guidance.
• Worked examples, verification notes, and troubleshooting tips to validate and accelerate your workflows.
• Guidance for integrating Abaqus/CAE with extended capabilities and tailoring models to specialized research or production needs.

Whether you are building custom material models, automating complex studies, or deploying high-fidelity, coupled simulations, this documentation helps you apply Abaqus’s most powerful features with confidence.
