Abaqus Knee Simulator

Accelerating the design of knee implants
In the race to deliver innovative, safe, and effective implant designs to patients requiring knee arthroplasty, medical device companies face demanding challenges. To gain a competitive advantage, manufacturers are leveraging the robust capabilities of realistic simulation to drive innovation, manage costs and accelerate patient care.

What is the Abaqus Knee Simulator?
The Abaqus Knee Simulator is a validated computational modeling tool for performing basic to advanced knee implant analyses and simulations.This tool offers five fast and easy-to-setup workflows which reduce your reliance on time consuming trials and expensive lab equipment, while still meeting regulatory requirements.

The Abaqus Product Suite

Abaqus/Standard
Abaqus/Standard is ideally suited for static, low-speed dynamic, and steady-state transport applications.It enables analyses of a model in both time and frequency domain in one single simulation. Abaqus/Standard delivers highly accurate stress analyses.
Abaqus /Standard can provide starting points for Abaqus/Explicit simulations as well as continuing from Abaqus/Explicit results. Pre- and postprocessing is supported within the Abaqus/CAE modeling environment.

Abaqus/Explicit
Abaqus/Explicit enables the simulation of brief transient dynamic events, such as drop testing or ballistic events with finite element analysis. Its ability to handle severely non-linear behavior makes Abaqus/Explicit ideally suited for the simulation of quasi-static events such as slow crushing of energy absorbing devices.

Abaqus/CAE
With Abaqus/CAE you can quickly and efficiently create, edit, monitor, diagnose, and visualize advanced Abaqus analyses. It supports interactive computer-aided engineering concepts such as feature-based, parametric modeling, interactive and scripted operation. Besides the built-in geometry creation it enables interfacing with other CAD environments for geometry and mesh imports or model synchronization. Abaqus/CAE also offers comprehensive visualization options, which enable users to interpret and communicate the results of any Abaqus analysis.
