Dassault Systems releases V6.6 of Abaqus software

Paris - Dassault Systemeshas released version 6.6 of its Abaqus FEA software. David Dryden, manager, research & technology at Cooper Tire & Rubber Company said the new version, "offers many new and exciting features that we expect to significantly enhance our capability to accurately and efficiently simulate complex tyre structures. We are especially looking forward to the ability to apply an extension of steady state transport theory to periodic treaded tyre structures. This technology provides a highly efficient method to incorporate detailed tread geometries onto complex tyre structures for analysis of tyre/road interactions and offers the potential to advance the approximation of treaded tyre structures in steady state rolling."

In a statement, Dassault said the upgrade, "allows analysts in the tyre industry to include the effects of detailed tyre tread with road interaction in simulations of rolling tyres. This feature of the software, along with enhancements related to acoustic simulation of the inflated tyre system, is unmatched in its ability to accurately model complex tyre structures and to simulate how a tread design performs under various acceleration, braking, and cornering maneuvers.
