Abaqus Compression Test Simulation Files

The Abaqus Compression Test Simulation Files package provides a complete setup to analyze compressive material behavior under static or dynamic loading.
This model is designed for researchers, students, and engineers who need a clean, verified, and simulation-ready compression test example in Abaqus.

Compression testing is one of the most essential mechanical tests for understanding material deformation, yield, and damage mechanisms. With these ready-to-run files, you can immediately simulate compression in metals, polymers, or composites — without building the model from scratch.

🔹 Overview

This Abaqus compression test simulation replicates a standard uniaxial compression setup, including the specimen geometry, platen interaction, and all essential boundary conditions.
The model is built using the mm–N–s unit system and configured for static, explicit, and quasi-static analyses.

All Abaqus Compression Test Simulation Files are tested and verified in Abaqus 6.14, 2017, and 2024, ensuring seamless compatibility across versions.
You can also edit material properties, mesh density, or step types to adapt the model for your specific material or test configuration.
