2008年5月20号——达索系统(DS) ，全球产品生命周期管理(PLM)和3D技术的领导者，发布了最新版本Abaqus 6.8。针对在汽车、航空、电子、能源等行业的新挑战，Abaqus 6.8版在增强既有分析能力的同时，不断扩展新功能，包括：前后处理、结构分析、复合材料失效、通用接触、大规模高性能计算和多物理场等。

“在设计我们的大型两冲程柴油发动机时，需要研究结构各部件在复杂载荷下的相互作用，这必须借助Abaqus强大的接触分析能力”，MAN Diesel的高级主管Per Rønnedal介绍，“在进行线性静力学多工况分析时，Abaqus 6.8版对内存的需求量大大减少，这项改进使我们在设计的早期，就能够对大量的可能方案进行计算，指导产品的优化设计。”

SIMULIA 产品经理Steve Crowley强调， 6.8版数以百计的新功能和改进，兑现了SIMULIA不断追求技术卓越、满意客户的承诺。新版本的发布，在对真实世界的仿真领域，具有里程碑式的意义。它将使Abaqus统一的有限元技术持续保持领先地位，不可撼动。

Abaqus 6.8 版新增或改进的功能：
1 全新的耦合欧拉-拉格朗日求解器 (CEL)使得Abaqus/Explicit 能够进行瞬态的流固耦合分析：油箱晃动，鸟撞、轮胎的湿滑性能模拟…
2 Abaqus/Standard 基本实现了General Contact,大大简化了模型的接触定义。这是Abaqus在接触算法上的又一重大突破和发展。
3 内嵌的VCCT技术使航空工程师能够更加有效的模拟复合材料裂纹的扩展、脱层和可能的失效。
4 低周疲劳模拟功能可以帮助电子工程师评估焊球的寿命，亦可用于发动机等的耐久性分析。
5 新增与 SolidWorks的关联导入。
6 Abaqus/CAE 新增材料库功能，提高了使用和管理不同材料属性的效率。

::::::English Description::::::

Whether you need to understand the detailed behavior of a complex assembly, refine concepts for a new design, understand the behavior of new materials, or simulate a discrete manufacturing process, Abaqus FEA provides the most complete and flexible solution to get the job done. The software suite delivers accurate, robust, high performance solutions for challenging nonlinear problems, large-scale linear dynamics applications, and routine design simulations. Its unmatched integration of implicit and explicit FEA capabilities enables you to use the results of one simulation directly in a subsequent analysis to capture the effects of prior history, such as manufacturing processes on product performance. User programmable features, scripting and GUI customization features allow proven methods to be captured and deployed to your enterprise, enabling more design alternatives to be analyzed in less time.

Abaqus FEA takes advantage of the latest high performance parallel computing environments, allowing you to include details in your models previously excluded due to computing limitations. This allows you to minimize assumptions while reducing turnaround time for high-fidelity results. The suite’s renowned capabilities are extended through complementary products, extensions, and interfaces to Alliance Partner products. Discover how you can leverage the world’s most complete and powerful suite of FEA software to explore the real-world behavior of your products and accelerate innovation.
