ANSYS is good enough for you to get both accuracy and speed. I even don’t know why but I always see my friend using ANSYS and I don’t have any colleague that uses Abaqus for Fluid mechanic. Fluid mechanicĭon’t ask just go with ANSYS. It took a month to solve in 128 GB of RAM and god knows what kind of CPU nut I’m pretty sure it is longer in Abaqus Because it has about 5 million elements and whenever you have more than 500,000 element in your model Abaqus gets stupid. I had a friend who runs a model of a car moving on a 1 Km road to test the vibration in the suspension system. to use hexahedron 8 since I think tetrahedral elements in Abaqus is too weak.

If you want to use Abaqus it’s better to use quadratic elements since I personally believe if your model is big you need to go with ANSYS but if your model needs to be accurate or complex Abaqus is a better option for you.
#COMSOL VS ANSYS CODE#
However, it doesn’t mean you can’t develop code in Ansys but you can find more people using Abaqus to develop code in Abaqus (Don’t know why). Since you can use subroutine in Abaqus can build a better model for your publication.
#COMSOL VS ANSYS SOFTWARE#
However, In ANSYS you may faster result but you need to know Abaqus software is well-known as an accurate software to get results. Please keep in mind I am an Abaqus user and I mostly created the solid mechanic models so… Solid mechanic and vibration model:īoth have enough accuracy and you might be able to get the acceptable results. If you read the previous section, you might have enough information about these two software and now It’s time to check the difference between this software. the collaboration between ANSYS and LS-Dyna made this software more powerful and enable customers to build better explicit models. The company has done well in recent years and has generated more than $ 5 million in revenue in the past six years. In February 2010, it bought CFX, a CFD software company for $ 1.5 million. For example, ANSYS 5.1 was 2 or 4 times faster than the previous version. They keep developing this software which made this software one of the fastest FEM solvers. They start putting more effort into a fluid mechanic which was CFD (that’s when ANSYS starts to make an excellent job in fluid mechanics). We can say Swanson was the father of ANSYS who developed this software in 1970 but they didn’t have significant progress until 1992 that they bought Compuflo Which was the developer of FORTRAN.
#COMSOL VS ANSYS LICENSE#
These days they are releasing a new version every year ( but you won’t notice any difference) in and but still finding the license is difficult for this software (We will talk about it). Days passed and in the 2005 Dassault Systemes, developers of CATIA and Solidwork bought this software. In the beginning, they didn’t share the license and just corporate in projects and then they share the profit. In the beginning, students couldn’t afford the license and for the project, they have to develop some kind of files such as *INP file (I’m not sure) and they needed to submit it and they could get the answer after a few days. HistoryĪbaqus was developed in 190 (Seriously!!? I know guys who did more for their MSc thesis) line FORTRAN code was used for this software. At first, we talk about the general aspect of these solvers and then we explain the pros and cons of each software. In this post, we are trying to explore the differences in Ansys and Abaqus. For this aim, we need to use conventional solvers such as Abaqus, ANSYS, Solidwork (I know, Solidwork solver is a joke), and etc. As an engineer, we need to build a model to simulate a process so we can save many and reduce processing time.
