Abaqus FEA is a suite of software that can be used for finite element analysis and computer-aided engineering. The Abaqus product suite consists of five software tools.

Abaqus/CAE – an application used for both the modeling and analysis of mechanical components and assemblies (pre-processing) and visualizing the finite element analysis result.

Abaqus/Standard – a general-purpose Finite-Element analyzer that employs implicit integration scheme (traditional).

Abaqus/Explicit – a special-purpose Finite-Element analyzer that employs explicit integration scheme to solve highly nonlinear systems with many complex contacts under transient loads.

Abaqus/CFD – a Computational Fluid Dynamics software application which provides advanced computational fluid dynamics capabilities with extensive support for preprocessing and post processing provided in Abaqus/CAE.

Abaqus/Electromagnetic – a Computational electro-magnetics software application which solves advanced computational electromagnetic problems.
