System-Structure Co-simulation
System-level modeling refers to the modeling of systems that can include both physical (structural, thermal, acoustics, computational fluid dynamics, etc.) and logical components. Logical modeling refers to a large class of modeling abstractions often encountered in the engineering practice. You can designate a part of a system as using a logical modeling abstraction when most (if not all) of the geometry of the part is removed. System-Structure modeling is available on Windows and Linux platform, and can couple with logical components that a Functional Mockup Unit, FMU, of type co-simulation conforming with Functional Mockup Interface, FMI.
Limited support is available by Dassault Systemes as it pertains to Abaqus and SIMULIA Co-simulation Services, since logical abstractions can come from different providers.

Co-simulation using MpCCI
The Multiphysics Parallel Code Coupling Interface, MpCCI, provides an open approach for general multidisciplinary simulations between Abaqus and any third-party analysis program that supports MpCCI. MpCCI is developed by Frauhofer SCAI. You may couple Abaqus to a MpCCI-compliant solvers, such as FLUENT from Ansys, OpenFoam from ESI, and the Fine solvers from Numeca. For complete listing of MpCCI compliant solvers is provided www.mpcci.de.
Co-simulation using MpCCI is an indirect coupling; Abaqus communicates via the SIMULIA Co-Simulation Services with the MpCCI coupling server to exchange fields with the third-party solver. You will need MpCCI distributed by the Fraunhofer Institute SCAI and SCAPOS.
Co-simulation with MpCCI is supported and validated by Fraunhofer SCAI on Windows and Linux platforms. The data provided on this page is based on information Dassault Systemes receives from Fraunhofer SCAI. Please contact Fraunhofer SCAI and SCAPOS for further information and support.
