Overview of 3D Periodic Boundary Condition Plug-in in Abaqus

The Abaqus Plug-in (EngSoft_PBC3D) allows users to easily apply 3D periodic boundary condition in Abaqus to cubic representative volume element (RVE) models.
It is specifically developed for accurate simulation of composite materials and microstructural models in three dimensions.

🔹 Automatic or User-Defined Mesh

The plug-in can automatically generate the mesh for simple geometries.
Alternatively, users can apply their own custom mesh. This provides flexibility for both quick setups and detailed RVE configurations.

🔹 Accurate Node Matching and Tolerance Control

The tool identifies and matches corresponding boundary nodes based on a user-defined tolerance.
As a result, it ensures perfect periodicity across all RVE boundaries.

🔹 Versatile Loading Options

It supports tension, compression, and shear loading along all three axes.
Moreover, users can study material behavior under a wide range of loading conditions.

🔹 Full Compatibility with Abaqus Versions

EngSoft_PBC3D is compatible with all versions of Abaqus software, ensuring that you can apply 3D periodic boundary condition in Abaqus without worrying about version differences. This makes it easy to integrate into any existing workflow or upgrade your Abaqus version in the future. 

🔹 Compatibility with EngSoft RVE Generators

This plug-in works seamlessly with other EngSoft 3D RVE plug-ins (like engsoft_ud3d).
In addition, it allows a smooth workflow from microstructure generation to PBC application and Abaqus simulation.

🔹 Package Contents

Upon purchase, you will receive a complete package including:

• Abaqus plug-in files

• Two PDF help documents

• One comprehensive training video
  This ensures you have everything needed to set up and use the plug-in effectively.
