This section discusses analysis setup, execution,Īnd limitation details specific to Abaqus/Standard to Abaqus/Explicit co-simulation. This methodĪlso allows constraints to be located on the co-simulation interface. Method, providing robust and accurate solutions in the most cost effective manner. The enhanced subcycling method is the preferred Subcycling method, and the lockstep method. Abaqus supports Abaqus/Standard to Abaqus/Explicit co-simulation and Abaqus to Simpack (a multibody dynamics solver) co-simulation by providing specialized interface handling.Īlthough you can perform a structural-to-structural co-simulation between two Abaqus/Standard analyses or between two Abaqus/Explicit analyses, it is not recommended due to the lack of proper handling at the interface.Ībaqus supports three interface handling methods: the enhanced subcycling method, the 'original' Strong physics coupling and requires special treatment at the co-simulation interface. Structural-to-structural co-simulation Structural-to-structural co-simulationĬo-simulation between two structural solvers (solvers exchangingĭisplacements and rotations and the conjugate fields' forces and moments) represents a very
