This document provides an overview of Abaqus modeling and analysis capabilities. It discusses the different Abaqus modules for modeling, meshing, applying loads and boundary conditions, and post-processing results. It then walks through an example of modeling a stiffened deck panel, applying boundary conditions and pressure loads, and viewing the von Mises stress results. Finally, it describes how to model an equipment footprint partition and apply a point load coupling to represent an equipment load on the deck.
