Why would a SOLIDWORKS user use Abaqus for their FEA? Sam & Thomas analyze an automotive control arm's bushing installation process in both SOLIDWORKS Simulation and Abaqus. The viewer can compare the respective workflows and the value of the analysis output.

This test-drive of Abaqus/CAE as a SOLIDWORKS user will reveal the competitive advantages of Abaqus over SOLIDWORKS Simulation. The viewer will see the SOLIDWORKS-Abaqus CAD connector tool, the hexahedral meshing process, Abaqus General Contact, a multi-step setup, and cloud computing.

By the end of this video, you will have your introduction to Abaqus as a SOLIDWORKS user and you will understand some of the pros and cons of high-end simulation capabilities.
