Abaqus Tutorials and Documentation

One of the questions that I am often asked by someone who is just starting to use Abaqus, is where they can find Online Tutorials, so that they can learn on their own.

The answer simply is google. I mean try googling. There are humpty number of sites, especially educational institutions, which host Abaqus Tutorials.

I just name few sites that I found by googling.

Abaqus Official Webpage itself has an assortment of Tutorials to get oneself started. You can find them at the following link.

Another nice place to start, in my opinion, is the Tutorials section of the Abaqus Documentation. It is very comprehensive and ofcourse official. And for more complicated problems, there are these Example Users Manual and Verificiation Users Manual.

Abaqus Documentation comes along with the Abaqus Software and is copyrighted. But surprisingly, I found the documentaion online in some sites. HLRS Stuttgart was one such site with the documentation for many versions available. Very recently, public access to that site was denied.

With a little more effort and tweaking, I found the documentation on Scientific Computing and Visualisation Institute of Boston University. May be they also will deny access to the Documentation soon. For reasons of copyright problems, I refrain from posting those links.

Good luck and have fun using Abaqus.
