AbaqusCAE is a complete Abaqus environment that provides a simple, consistent interface for creating, submitting, monitoring, and evaluating results from AbaqusStandard and AbaqusExplicit simulations. AbaqusCAE is divided into modules, where each module defines a logical aspect of the modeling process; for example, defining the geometry, defining material properties, and generating a mesh. As you move from module to module, you build the model from which AbaqusCAE generates an input file that you submit to the AbaqusStandard or AbaqusExplicit analysis product. The analysis product performs the analysis, sends information to AbaqusCAE to allow you to monitor the progress of the job, and generates an output database. Finally, you use the Visualization module of AbaqusCAE (also licensed separately as AbaqusViewer) to read the output database and view the results of your analysis.
