Definition of 'energy' and its components in ABAQUS

[mechdrive1]

Hello,

Can anyone suggest where can I find how ABAQUS calculates energies (kinetic, internal, dissipation, total, etc.) for a model and what's the definition of the same? I've tried looking in the User's guide and Analysis User's guide but couldn't find anything helpful.

I would request you to share whatever information you have about energy calculation in ABAQUS and how ABAQUS defines them.

Thanks!

Check the theory guide. Specifically:

Abaqus Theory Guide -> Introduction and Basic Equations -> Energy Balance
