Types of analysis in Abaqus

1. Static analysis: In static analysis, the structure or component is subjected to a steady-state load, and the response is analyzed without considering the effects of time or vibration. Abaqus supports linear and nonlinear static analysis, which can be used to simulate different types of loading conditions, such as tensile, compressive, bending, and torsional loads.
2. Dynamic analysis: In dynamic analysis, the behavior of a structure or component is analyzed under time-varying loads or vibrations. Abaqus supports various types of dynamic analysis, such as modal analysis, harmonic analysis, and transient analysis. Modal analysis is used to determine the natural frequencies, modes, and shapes of a structure, while harmonic analysis is used to analyze the response of a structure to periodic loading. Transient analysis is used to simulate the response of a structure to time-varying loads.
3. Thermal analysis: In thermal analysis, the behavior of a structure or component is analyzed under thermal loads or temperature changes. Abaqus supports different types of thermal analysis, such as steady-state thermal analysis, transient thermal analysis, and coupled thermo-mechanical analysis. Steady-state thermal analysis is used to analyze the steady-state temperature distribution in a structure, while transient thermal analysis is used to simulate the response of a structure to time-varying temperature changes.
4. Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis: In FSI analysis, the behavior of a fluid and a solid structure that interact with each other is analyzed. Abaqus supports both weak and strong FSI analysis. Weak FSI analysis is used to simulate the effects of fluid flow on the structural response, while strong FSI analysis is used to simulate the effects of structural deformation on the fluid flow.
5. Electromagnetic analysis: In electromagnetic analysis, the behavior of a structure or component is analyzed under electromagnetic loads or fields. Abaqus supports different types of electromagnetic analysis, such as static magnetic analysis and transient electromagnetic analysis. Static magnetic analysis is used to analyze the magnetic field distribution in a structure, while transient electromagnetic analysis is used to simulate the response of a structure to time-varying electromagnetic loads.
6. Multiphysics analysis: In multiphysics analysis, the behavior of a structure or component is analyzed under multiple types of loads or fields, such as thermal, mechanical, and electromagnetic loads. Abaqus supports various types of multiphysics analysis, such as thermo-mechanical analysis, electro-mechanical analysis, and magneto-mechanical analysis. Multiphysics analysis is used to simulate the complex interactions between different physical phenomena and to predict the overall behavior of a system. You can find more info about this type here.
