Airbus has adopted the Abaqus Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software from SIMULIA, the Dassault Systèmes brand for realistic simulation, as preferred solution for static nonlinear FEA.
According to a multi year corporate agreement, Dassault Systèmes will provide software and services to Airbus sites located in Toulouse (France), Filton (U.K.), Hamburg/Bremen (Germany), and Getafe (Spain). Airbus will use the Abaqus FEA software for supporting development of advanced virtual testing methods. Airbus is an EADS company.
“This announcement reinforces the fact that the world’s leading companies see nonlinear FEA technology as a key enabler for delivering realistic simulations with high-fidelity correlation to the physical world,” said Dr. Ken Short, vice president of strategy & marketing, SIMULIA.
This decision comes as a result of an extensive benchmark of several FEA codes. The Abaqus FEA software has already been successfully applied on the A380 aircraft program for structural virtual testing.
