Abaqus/CAE
can be used to create a complete
Abaqus
analysis model. The analysis product (Abaqus/Standard
or
Abaqus/Explicit)
reads the input file generated by
Abaqus/CAE,
performs the analysis, sends information to
Abaqus/CAE
to allow you to monitor the progress of the job, and generates an output
database. You use
the Visualization module
to read the output database and view the results of your analysis.
-
You can perform a data check analysis once you have created a model.
Error and warning messages are printed to the Job Monitor
dialog box.
-
Use
the Visualization module
in
Abaqus/CAE
to verify the model geometry and boundary conditions graphically, using the
output database file generated during the data check phase.
-
Always check that the results satisfy basic engineering principles, such
as equilibrium.
-
The Visualization module of
Abaqus/CAE
allows you to visualize analysis results graphically in a variety of ways and
also allows you to write tabular data reports.
-
The choice between using implicit or explicit methods depends largely on
the nature of the problem.
