Key Features of Abaqus 6.10: Multiphysics * Interface for CFD modeling, execution, and visualization in Abaqus/CAE. * Coupling with Abaqus/Standard or Abaqus/Explicit for Fluid-Structure Interaction and Conjugate Heat Transfer; Incompressible (transient or steady) Flows; Turbulence modeling. * Co-simulation interface for third parties to integrate their software to Abaqus for coupled multiphysics simulation. Mechanics * Improved AMS eigensolver performance for models that include structural/viscous damping or acoustic-structural coupling. * Enhanced modeling of fracture of composite materials with XFEM. * Parallel processing improvements for simulations that use XFEM or the implicit dynamic procedure. * A new iterative equation solver offers significant performance enhancements for simulations involving large blocky structures, such as oil reservoirs, engines. * Geostatic procedure enhanced to automate the process of specifying initial stress within soil models. * Enhanced coupled temperature pore-pressure displacement for modeling heat transfer in porous materials. This is useful for analyzing petroleum reservoirs, nuclear waste repositories, or freeze/thaw cycles in buried pipelines. * A new model for capturing high-rate impact of ceramics and other brittle materials, based on the well-accepted Johnson-Holmquist formulation. * New capability to analyze structures subject to air blast loading. * Dynamic load balancing of compute resources improves performance of domain decomposition parallel processing. Modeling and Meshing * Expanded set of geometry edit tools for creating midsurface representations of thin solid parts for more efficient simulations. * General 3D sweep capability for creating complex, curved geometric features, including solid, shell, or cut geometric features such as exhaust manifolds of engines, or window frames in aerospace structures. * Several meshing improvements for quality and robustness of surface and tet meshing. * Improved interface for controlling local mesh gradation and density with enhanced usability and additional controls including double-biased seeding option. Usability and Visualization * Part or assembly based view cuts capability for both meshes and geometry allows interior of models to be visualized which makes it easier to position assembly components and assign attributes. * Enhanced overlay plots functionality with capability for loading multiple output databases in a single operation. * Colored vector symbols can be displayed based on magnitude with control over symbol density and plotting of vector symbols on view cuts.
