SSRIS’s finite element modeling software

SIMULIA ABAQUS 2020 (1 CAE & 5 Tokens)

We can provide research and professional advice on
– coding user-subroutines with FORTRAN
– pre- and post-processing with PYTHON
– modeling various nonlinear structural and solid behavior including damage, failure, progressive collapse, contact, impact, fluid (CFD) coupling, thermal coupling, shrinkage, creep.

SAP2000 Ultimate v20 & ETABS v19 (10 shared academic licenses each)

We can provide academic advice on
– modelling and analysis of highrise buildings and bridges (arch, truss, cable, post-tensioned segmental, etc.)
– transfer structure and foundation cap analysis
– analysis and design for seismic and wind actions
– staged construction analysis
– vehicular load
– nonlinear pushover and time-history analysis
