in late 2002 to reflect the company's focus on this product line. Later on, the company's name was changed to ABAQUS, Inc. The first official release of ABAQUS/Explicit was hand-delivered to M.I.T.

The core product, eventually known as ABAQUS/Standard which is an implicit finite element solver, was complemented by other software packages including ABAQUS/Explicit, a dynamic explicit analysis package released in 1992, and ABAQUS/CAE, a finite element pre- and post-processing package released in 1999. The first parallel version of ABAQUS, version 5.4, was made available to users in 1995.

It was initially distributed via CDC's Cybernet service. In the early days, ABAQUS was designed primarily for the nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of structures, and nonlinear steady and transient analysis of heat transfer or conduction problems. ABAQUS version 3 was released in June 1979. External imageДЄBAQUS version 1 was created for a specific client - Westinghouse Hanford Company which used the software to analyze nuclear fuel rod assemblies. The original logo of ABAQUS company is a stylized abacus calculator, and its beads are set to the company's official launch date of February 1st, 1978 (2-1-1978). David Hibbitt's talk at MIT on 'Evolution of an Engineering Simulation Software Venture' in April 2019, YouTube video Hibbitt and Sorensen had met while completing their Ph.Ds at Brown University while Karlsson encountered the two in his capacity as a support analyst in a data centre in Stockholm. Paul Sorensen co-founded the company later known as Hibbitt, Karlsson & Sorensen, Inc., (HKS) in Jan, 1978 to develop and market ABAQUS software. The early history of ABAQUS is very tightly connected with the early history of MARC Analysis Research Corporation. The name of Abaqus was initially written as ABAQUS when it was first released. Abaqus/CAE uses the fox-toolkit for GUI development. The Abaqus products use the open-source scripting language Python for scripting and customization. Abaqus/Electromagnetic, a Computational electromagnetics software application which solves advanced computational electromagnetic problems.

Abaqus/CFD, a Computational Fluid Dynamics software application which provides advanced computational fluid dynamics capabilities with extensive support for preprocessing and postprocessing provided in Abaqus/CAE.

Abaqus/Explicit, a special-purpose Finite-Element analyzer that employs explicit integration scheme to solve highly nonlinear systems with many complex contacts under transient loads.

Abaqus/Standard, a general-purpose Finite-Element analyzer that employs implicit integration scheme (traditional).

A subset of Abaqus/CAE including only the post-processing module can be launched independently in the Abaqus/Viewer product. It is a software application used for both the modeling and analysis of mechanical components and assemblies (pre-processing) and visualizing the finite element analysis result.

Abaqus/CAE, or ' Complete Abaqus Environment' (a backronym with a root in Computer- Aided Engineering ).

The Abaqus product suite consists of five core software products:

The name and logo of this software are based on the abacus calculation tool. Computer-aided engineering, Finite Element AnalysisДЄbaqus FEA (formerly ABAQUS) is a software suite for finite element analysis and computer-aided engineering, originally released in 1978.
