This release also heralds a dramatic step up in
integrated, interactive modeling and results visualization, with
important new features in the interactive product, ABAQUS/CAE.

Industry-leading contact has been a hallmark of
ABAQUS/Standard for some time. "By
allowing designers to create their own algorithms in MATLAB, explore
various implementations using AccelWare , and then incorporate the
blocks seamlessly into the rest of the system, this new flow
dramatically reduces our design time."

Synthesis Extends Design Space Exploration

A great asset of architectural synthesis is the ability to rapidly
generate multiple hardware implementations of a design from an
algorithm. While traditional RTL synthesis tools have allowed area and
frequency tradeoffs, AccelChip DSP Synthesis enables system-level
tradeoffs, such as sample rate, latency, error, power, area and
frequency. The System Generator

and simulation fidelity while upholding a distinguished reputation for
flexibility and reliability. A new framework
for simulating progressive failure allows ABAQUS/Explicit to
model damage and failure of materials, fasteners and other
connection types based on relevant criteria. In addition, new
cohesive elements in ABAQUS /Explicit and ABAQUS/Standard can
be used to model separation between two initially bonded
surfaces, such as is required for progressive failure of
adhesives or composites . The advent of new
parallel element operations in ABAQUS/Standard, together with
the already available parallel solvers, results in complete
parallelization of many ABAQUS /Standard analyses and provides
notable performance gains.
