Products: Abaqus/Standard Abaqus/Explicit
Benefits: The SIMULIA Co-Simulation Engine now supports an interface with MpCCI, expanding the number of third-party solvers that can be coupled with Abaqus.
Description: Prior to the Abaqus 6.14 release, the MpCCI client software was embedded in Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit. With the Abaqus 6.14 release, Fraunhofer SCAI has developed a connection between the MpCCI server and the SIMULIA Co-Simulation Engine. This connection extends the co-simulation capability to nonpartner, MpCCI-compliant solvers that can be coupled with Abaqus. This connector supports the latest capabilities available with the SIMULIA Co-Simulation Engine, including implicit iterative coupling.
The connector process is distributed by Fraunhofer SCAI. For more information on MpCCI, see www.mpcci.de. For more information about coupling with third-party software, see the Co-simulation page at www.3ds.com/simulia.
Third-party code coupling with Abaqus via MpCCI is qualified and supported by Fraunhofer SCAI.
