I need to simulate a coupled problem of fracture mechanics. I prefer to use Abaqus. Which commercial software is suggested for multiphysics modeling?

In order to validate a numerical code : it is enough to simulate benchmark tests or I should make also experiment tests?

In order to validate a numerical code. I compute benchmark tests. I don't know that I should make other experiment tests or the benchmark tests are enough to validate our numerical model.

Miles Vincent Barnhart

As the name suggests COMSOL Multiphysics is capable of handling multiphysical modelling and has a very user friendly UI. Here is an application example from their site but I'm sure there are others: https://www.comsol.com/model/single-edge-crack-988

David Hyland-Wood

Hi Hamdi,

I agree with Miles - Comsol is your tool :)

Regards,

Dave

Prateek Saxena

Definitely, COMSOL as others pointed out.

You can also try with ANSYS workbench, it's not so bad either. :)

Jayant Singh

Multi-physics problems can defenitely be easily solved through COMSOL multiphysics software. Various physics could be easily added to solve any system with involvement of their domain equations

Noman Iqbal

To add: if you want to study the crack propagation plus the multiphysics. Then its better to check whether that coupling physics is availabe in other softwares like ABAQUS or ANSYS. If it is then use those. I do not recommend COMSOL Multiphysics. Its true that in Comsol integrating different physics is very easy. But Comsol's fracture mechanics studies are not matured enough (if we speak the complex crack initiation n propagation phenomena).
