Abaqus, from Simulia, is a finite element analysis tool used for non-linear problems, large-scale linear dynamics applications, and routine design simulations. Abaqus data can be read into EnSight using either of the two direct readers we currently have. You may use the "Abaqus" reader for binary or ascii .fil files and the "Abaqus_ODB" for .odb files. For access to these readers, choose the desired format in the Data Reader dialog. Follow this link to view more information on Abaqus and EnSight on Simulia’s website.

"I have been using EnSight for three years now, for all of my post-processing needs. EnSight provides high quality graphics easily and quickly. As we move into fluid-structure interaction problems, it is our ONLY choice for post-processing these problems showing both solver's data simultaneously," said Mark Whaley, Procter & Gamble.
