Products: Abaqus/CFD Abaqus/CAE
Benefits: Abaqus/CFD provides scalable parallel CFD simulation capabilities to address a number of nonlinear coupled fluid-thermal and fluid-structural problems.
Description: Abaqus/CFD is a new product offering in the Unified Finite Element Analysis product suite. You can use Abaqus/CFD to perform fluid dynamic analyses. Support for fluid material properties, fluid elements, prescribed conditions, output, execution, parallel execution, and restart is available. You can also use Abaqus/CFD to perform fluid-structure interaction and conjugate heat transfer (see “Abaqus/CFD to Abaqus/Standard or to Abaqus/Explicit co-simulation,” Section 6.3).
You use Abaqus/CAE to create the fluid model (see “Model types in Abaqus/CAE,” Section 4.1) and generate the input file. You can execute Abaqus/CFD jobs in Abaqus/CAE or from the command line.
The Abaqus Analysis User's Manual is the reference guide for Abaqus/CFD. Abaqus/CFD appears in the Products list at the beginning of each manual section if the information in that section applies to Abaqus/CFD. If the section is also applicable to Abaqus/Standard or Abaqus/Explicit, the individual product names are used in the discussion to indicate when information applies to a specific product.
