Feature | Common | ABAQUS/ | ABAQUS/Explicit only |
---|---|---|---|
Element library | Comprehensive | no limits | only elements appropriate for explicit solutions |
Material models | Comprehensive | only yield models | yield and fracture models |
Solution methods | Implicit Integration needs solve multiple coupled equation Using the K Matrix (F=Ku) Stable | explicit integration step by step using small time steps sometimes not stable | |
Required Disk Space | repetitive calculations likely takes a lot of space | no repetitive calculation normal | |
Types of Problems | Linear: non-linear: Contact*: usual systems** | Can solve Can solve Can solve if simple Optimal under steady*** loads | Can solve Optimal. even if highly non-linear Optimal. even for complex and varying conditions Optimal under transient*** loads like Impact, Pulse and Explosion |
