New direct integration block: Abaqus
Available in: 
pSeven v2025.07
Starting with version v2025.07, the pSeven Desktop includes a direct integration block with Abaqus for automating work and conducting parametric studies with Abaqus models.
This block works exclusively with the Abaqus section responsible for structural mechanics and provides:
- Automatic launch of the Abaqus solver and reading of its parameters in the block tree.
- Parameterization of simulation models (partial replacement of geometry, modification of initial and boundary conditions, loads setup and material properties).
- Uploading results to pSeven Desktop for subsequent postprocessing or DSE and optimization.
To configure the Abaqus block, specify the path to the project database in *.cae format. All other project files, including the pre-calculated database with the project calculation results *.odb, must be located in the same folder. Select the tree nodes corresponding to the input and output parameters of the Abaqus model, which must be linked to the input and output ports of the block. If necessary, specify the path to the installed Abaqus directory.
Abaqus is one of the world's most popular software tools for finite element analysis (FEA), including structural mechanics, material fatigue, contact interactions, heat transfer, acoustics, and multidisciplinary processes.
