ABAQUS Projects Package
If you need common industrial simulations in the fields of forming, fracture, explosion, impact, etc., this package can provide you with comprehensive training along with an instructional video file and software file. You can quickly meet your educational needs in learning the elementary and intermediate level of Abaqus software using this package.
Essential Package
In this package, you can get comprehensive training of the following very useful four subroutines at a lower cost. In this package, more than 9 hours of practical training in the form of videos, PowerPoint, and workshops are provided.
During the years of our activities, many students and professors have received these 5 practical packages from us, and we decided to offer this popular package in the form of the “Essential Package” at a reasonable price.
We assure you that by providing this package, you will be answered to how to define the properties of complex materials or complex loads and contacts very quickly and will save you a lot of time. Because in the training workshops of these packages, there are several practical examples for using these subroutines that can make you a professional in writing them quickly.
Additive Manufacturing or 3D Printing Abaqus simulation
3D printing is a process of creating three-dimensional objects by layering materials, such as plastic or metal, based on a digital design. 3D printing simulation involves using software to predict and optimize the printing process, allowing for more efficient and accurate production. This educational package includes two 3D printing modeling methods. The first method is based on the use of subroutines and Python scripting. After an introduction to the 3D printing process, the first method with all of its detail is explained; then, there would be two workshops for this method; the first workshop is for the 3D printing simulation of a gear with uniform cross-section and the second one is for a shaft with non-uniform cross-section. The second method uses a plug-in called AM Modeler. With this plug-in, the type of 3D printing can be selected, and after inserting the required inputs and applying some settings, the 3D printing simulation is done without any need for coding. Two main workshops will be taught to learn how to use this plug-in: "Sequential thermomechanical analysis of simple cube one-direction with LPBF 3D printing method using the trajectory-based method with AM plug-in" and "3D printing simulation with Fusion deposition modeling and Laser direct energy deposition method with AM plug-in".
Golden Package
If you are a graduate or Ph.D. student, if you are a university professor or an expert engineer in the industry who deals with simulation software, you are definitely familiar with the limitations of this software in defining the material properties, loading or meshing, interaction properties, and etc. You have certainly tried to define the properties of materials based on advanced fracture theories in finite element software and are familiar with their limitations and problems.
Now, here is your solution. Start writing subroutines in finite element software and overcome the limitations. With the tutorials in the Golden Package, you will learn how to write 8 subroutines in Abaqus software professionally.
3D continuum Abaqus HASHIN progressive Damage for composite materials (VUMAT Subroutine)
This tutorial teaches how to simulate damage in 3d continuum composite materials in ABAQUS. As you know, Abaqus does not have any material model for 3d composite materials. So, the user needs to write a customized subroutine to simulate damage initiation and progressive damage for composite materials in ABAQUS. In this package, one of the most practical damage initiation criteria (Hashin) is used to detect failure. It should be mentioned that this subroutine includes gradual progressive damage based on the energy method. This complex subroutine could be used for static and dynamic problems.
UVARM subroutine in ABAQUS
DFLUX Subroutine (VDFLUX Subroutine) in ABAQUS
DFLUX subroutine (VDFLUX Subroutine) is used for thermal loading in various body flux and surface flux states in heat transfer and temperature displacement solvers when flux load is a function of time, place, or other parameters. In this package, you will learn “when do you need to use this subroutine?”, “how to use the DFLUX subroutine”, “what is the difference between DFLUX & VDFLUX?”, “how to convert DFLUX to VDFLUX and vice versa?”, and “How to use it in an example?”. Three workshops are presented so you can learn all these stuff in action: Simulation of welding between two plate with DFLUX subroutine, Simulation of Arc welding between two tube with DFLUX, and Simulation of different types of functional heat flux(Body-surface-Element) in plate with Johnson-cook plasticity with VDFLUX subroutine(Thermomechanical Analysis).
Introduction to UEL Subroutine in ABAQUS
UEL stands for User-defined Elements. When you have a finite element analysis that requires an element type that doesn't exist in the Abaqus element library, you must write a UEL subroutine. Or, when you want to define various element shape functions, the UEL would be the best choice. This subroutine is one of the most sophisticated in the Abaqus and is intended for advanced users. With this tutorial package, you can become an advanced user and learn how to write such a complex subroutine. This package contains two workshops: writing a UEL subroutine for a planar beam element with nonlinear section behavior and writing a UEL subroutine for a beam element with specific boundary conditions and loading.

Ductile Damage Abaqus model for 3D continuum element (VUMAT Subroutine)
In this package, the continuum damage mechanics framework for ductile materials is implemented and developed in ABAQUS by VUMAT Subroutine.
Constitutive modeling is treated within the framework of continuum damage mechanics (CDM) and the effect of micro-crack closure, which may decrease the rate of damage growth under compression, is incorporated and implemented.
The present package has been organized as follows. In the Introduction section, the basis of the CDM in ductile materials is explained, and the applications of the CDM are stated. In the Theory section, the CDM model formulation is briefly reviewed, and with micro-crack closure, the effect is described. In the Implementation section, an algorithm for the numerical integration of the damage constitutive equations is presented. In the VUMAT Subroutine section, the flowchart of the subroutine, and the subroutine structure, step by step, are explained in detail. How to run the VUMAT Subroutine in ABAQUS will be presented in this section. In the Verification section, the validation and verification of the numerical implementation will be evaluated, and the stability, convergence and accuracy of the results will be investigated. In the Application section, the applications of using the ductile damage model in mechanical processes are presented, and the prediction of damage growth and failure in mechanical processes is investigated.
Professional Package
As a professional Abaqus user, you have probably faced cases where you have to move meshes and elements during analysis. For example, there is such a need in the wearing process. In addition, to define the properties of materials based on advanced theories of elasticity or plasticity, you need programming within the software. Sometimes you may need to model different types of cohesive or many types of composite materials based on various methods of composite damage. In all these cases, be sure that the professional package will answer you. This package is designed and prepared for you who are professionals and work on the edge of knowledge topics in the field of mechanical engineering and damage mechanics.
Sometimes you may need to use user-defined elements and change element configuration based on theories that you are using; for instance, it is needed to add more integration points in elements. In this case, you can use the UEL package in the “Professional Package”.
Simulation of Unidirectional Composite Damage in ABAQUS
This package introduces and applies various theories to initiate and progress damage in composite materials based on ABAQUS capabilities for different elements.

This training package is customized for macro modeling of composite structures.

9 Practical Workshops for SPH in Abaqus💡 | Abaqus SPH Tutorial
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Tutorial: Abaqus SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) is a numerical method used in this software to model fluid-structure interaction problems.
