This section explains how to model and run Abaqus/Standard to Abaqus/Explicit co-simulations in Abaqus/CAE. The following topics are covered:

• “Overview of co-simulations,” Section 25.1

• “What is a co-simulation?,” Section 25.2

• “Linking and excluding part instances for co-simulations,” Section 25.3

• “Ensuring mesh compatibility on the interface regions,” Section 25.4

• “Specifying the interface region and coupling schemes,” Section 25.5

• “Identifying the models involved and specifying job parameters,” Section 25.6

• “Viewing results of the co-simulation,” Section 25.7
