Consultant

[rstupplebeen]

I am interested in offloading some work to an Abaqus consultant. I was wondering if there is a site that lists consultants and their experience? I am not intending this to be a flood of people saying "Pick me, pick me". Thanks.

you will have to trawl through the list to see what each can do, but obviously you won't find Abaqus under the likes of Altair, Noran, Lusas, Cosmos and so on!

You could also try the LinkedIn web site and search for Abaqus.

Hi there,

I looked at the nafems website and did not find the company I work for, CD-Adapco, based on long island. what kind of analysis are you running?

 

[rstupplebeen]

All,

I have poked around those sites without much luck. I am sure that there are Abaqus consultants out there but apparently they are not good at being found. Hopefully there will be some more suggestions otherwise I will need to start a new thread asking for individuals to reply.

oroden01,
For now I am trying to keep this as general Abaqus consultants.

Thanks.

Hello,

As for a general list of consultants, I've not found a well maintained and organized list. However, I may be able to help you out, but I clearly need to discuss that outside of the forum. How can I contact you?

Rob,

In the Nafems list there are at least two companies listed who have very experienced Abaqus users - DAMT and FEA Online

Of course, it all depends on whether you want a company or a consultant. A company you'll pay top rates for but might have some assurnace/insurance on the results. HKS themselves will do consultancy work I believe, but my guess is they charge top price.

MuShoe,
Currently I am trying to find consultants not have them find me. In the future that may change and I will try to contact you.

johnhors,
I had filtered those 2 out since I was hoping for a US consultant. Thanks for sifting through that for me though.

corus,
I have contacted Abaqus but yes they do charge a lot but I am sure that they are worth it but a little hard to swallow.

All,
I will try to remember to update this if I find any good leads. Thanks.

I second the LinkedIn recommendation. Do an advanced search:

keyword: abaqus
location: in or near united states (delete zip code)
interested in: consultants
industry: mechanical engineering (eliminates the computer software people)

That pulls up 147 people... A few of them must be actual consultants

vumat721,

Thanks for the suggestion. I have only dabbled with LinkedIn so far. I will check it out. Thanks.

I have worked for 15 years as an abaqus consultant.If you let me know what you are looking for i can advise on the the best way forward which can be achieved on much more reasonable terms than a company like HKS/SIMULIA.
