In October 2005, Dassault Systèmes
acquired ABAQUS, Inc. and announced SIMULIA, the brand encompassing all DS simulation solutions, including Abaqus and CATIA Analysis applications. SIMULIA makes realistic simulation an integral business practice that improves product performance, reduces the number of physical prototypes required.Dassault Systèmes Simulia Corp. is the legal entity that encompasses the SIMULIA brand of Dassault Systèmes

Abaqus/Standard provides Abaqus analysis technology to solve traditional implicit finite element analysis, including static, dynamic, and thermal analyses, all powered with the widest range of contact and nonlinear material options. Abaqus/Standard also has optional add-on and interface products that address design sensitivity analysis, offshore engineering, and integration with third party software, e.g., plastic injection molding analysis.
Abaqus/Explicit provides Abaqus analysis technology focused on transient dynamics and quasi-static analyses using an explicit time integration, which is appropriate in many applications, such as drop tests, crushing, and manufacturing processes.
Abaqus/CAE provides a complete modeling and visualization environment for Abaqus analysis products. With direct access to CAD models, advanced meshing and visualization, and with an exclusive view towards Abaqus analysis products, Abaqus/CAE is the modeling environment of choice for many Abaqus users.

Abaqus Product Suite
The Abaqus suite consists of three core products - Abaqus/Standard, Abaqus/Explicit and Abaqus/CAE (Complete Abaqus Environment). Each of these packages offers additional, optional modules that address specialized capabilities required by some customers.Abaqus/Standard provides Abaqus analysis technology to solve traditional implicit finite element analysis, including static, dynamic, and thermal analyses, all powered with the widest range of contact and nonlinear material options.
