What partial differential equations does Abaqus actually solve?

[falloutranger]

This question has been in my mind for a long time: as we know, finite element method is a numerical technique for solving partial differential equations. So, as a finite element software, what underlying partial differential equations does Abaqus solve?

It all depends on whether it is structural, thermal, or otherwise. You would be best to refer to an introductory textbook on the finite element method.
