Features: This book is an example-based textbook for the application of ABAQUS software, combining fundamental theories of finite element methods and numerical computation techniques. Through a series of related examples and discussions, it introduces the main contents of ABAQUS software. The book systematically explains the key points of writing input data files and preprocessing, as well as methods for analyzing and post-processing output files. It also systematically covers practical examples applied in civil, material, mechanical, and railway engineering. To assist with secondary development, it provides detailed explanations on how to write UMAT material subroutines and UEL unit subroutines. Therefore, this book can serve as a handbook for engineers applying finite element software for mechanical analysis and structural design, as well as a reference textbook for graduate and undergraduate students in mechanics and engineering fields for finite element numerical computation courses. This book is suitable for university science and engineering teachers, researchers, undergraduate and graduate engineering students, and engineers engaged in design and finite element analysis.
