The procedure for modeling and running co-simulations in Abaqus/CAE involves the following general steps:
Create an Abaqus/Standard model and an Abaqus/Explicit model in a single model database.
Optionally, link part instances between models and exclude the linked instances from the analyses.
Ensure mesh compatibility on the interface regions.
In each model, create a co-simulation interaction to specify the interface region and coupling schemes.
Create a co-execution to identify the two models involved and specify the job parameters for each analysis.
Submit the co-execution to perform the co-simulation.
View the results of the co-simulation using overlay plots.
