    Substructures and Submodeling with Abaqus

    The size and complexity of designs that are analyzed and tested with Abaqus continues to grow. Substructures and submodeling are two effective techniques that allow the analyst to study problems that are too large to simulate with a conventional modeling approach. Substructures are useful to break a large problem into several smaller components. Submodeling allows the analysts to successively focus in on the area of interest.
