Abaqus composite material analysis — laminated shell elements, classical laminate theory (CLT), Hashin failure criteria, and progressive damage simulation.

Abaqus fatigue analysis — high-cycle fatigue (S-N curve) and low-cycle fatigue life prediction under cyclic loading.

Abaqus Python scripting fundamentals — geometric modeling, material definition, step setup, boundary conditions & loads, mesh generation, and job submission. Foundation skill for all Abaqus analysis types.

Abaqus static analysis — linear elastic small-deformation analysis and nonlinear large-deformation/plasticity/contact analysis. Builds on general skills for structural FEA.

Abaqus thermal stress analysis — steady-state and transient heat transfer, sequential and fully-coupled thermal-mechanical analysis.

Abaqus XFEM (eXtended Finite Element Method) — crack initiation and propagation simulation without remeshing. Supports damage initiation criteria and evolution laws.

Abaqus user subroutine development in Fortran — UMAT/VUMAT custom materials, DLOAD/VDLOAD loads, DISP/VDISP boundaries, USDFLD fields, SIGINI/SDVINI initial conditions, FRIC/VRIC friction, HETVAL/FILM thermal, UEL/VUEL custom elements.
