Asymmetric axisymmetric elements CAXA/SAXA are now supported within Abaqus/CAE.Model instances can now be used with flattended input files.Structural energy flow, power flow and acoustic radiated energy and power can now be computed for coupled structural-acoustic steady state dynamics.A common application is earthquake engineering. The missing mass method is now available for use within the response spectrum procedure.

SMP parallel processing is now supported for results recovery in mode-based procedures.The bolt contact capability in Abaqus/Standard has been enhanced to more accurately represent threads without actually meshing the thread.New contact output variables including scalar integration of contact pressure over the surface.Initial contact stresses in Abaqus/Standard can be computed based on userspecfied stress in elements underlying the contact surface.General contact in Abaqus/Standard now supports thermal and thermal-electrical procedures.The concrete damaged plasticity model in Explicit has been enhanced to include damage initiation and failure.Results transfer between Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit is fully supported which enables workflows involving static preload followed by dynamic impact. The hyperfoam material that was previously available in Abaqus/Explicit is now also available in Abaqus/Standard.

A new shear panel element SHEAR4 in Abaqus/Standard provides efficient modeling of reinforced thin-wall structures such as can be found in airplane fuselages.

A new 2nd order tet element C3D10 in Abaqus/Explicit provides larger stable time increment and is more computationally efficient than the existing C3D10M element.

The Abaqus Unified FEA product suite offers powerful and complete solutions for both routine and sophisticated engineering problems covering a vast spectrum of industrial applications. Below is an overview of what’s new in the SIMULIA Established products for the R2019x release: The Simulation portfolio in 3DEXPERIENCE R2019x brings a variety of enhancements and new capabilities to all users, and analysts in particular can leverage a suite of Roles to connect existing models, data, results, and simulation IP to the 3DEXPERIENCE for structures (Abaqus), fluids (XFlow), and electromagnetics (CST).
