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.

RE: Consultant

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?  

RE: Consultant

(OP)
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.

RE: Consultant

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?

RE: Consultant

Rob,

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

RE: Consultant

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.

RE: Consultant

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.

RE: Consultant

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.
