At a glance

Complete workflow for static structural analysis. An agent skill from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub.

  • Analyzing stress
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use This Skill, Workflow Steps, What to Ask User and Key Decisions, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Reaction forces under constant loads

What it does

Abaqus Static Analysis is an agent skill from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub. Complete workflow for static structural analysis. Use when analyzing stress, displacement, or reaction forces under constant loads. For strength and stiffness evaluation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `UPSTREAM.md` and `metadata.json`).

It sits in Security, covering Static analysis and SAST. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Analyzing stress
  • Reaction forces under constant loads

Example prompts

  • “/abaqus-static-analysis”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash(abaqus:*), Skill

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 194ef49. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Bash(abaqus:*)
    • Skill

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Abaqus Static Analysis loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 477 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Abaqus Static Analysis Workflow

Complete workflow for static structural analysis - stress, displacement, and reaction forces under constant loads.

When to Use This Skill

Route here when user mentions:

  • "stress analysis", "structural analysis"
  • "how much will it deflect", "displacement"
  • "is this strong enough", "strength check"
  • "factor of safety", "safety factor"
  • "reaction forces", "support loads"
  • "simulate a load on this part"

Route elsewhere:

  • Time-varying loads, impact, vibration → /abaqus-dynamic-analysis
  • Natural frequencies, resonance → /abaqus-modal-analysis
  • Temperature effects, thermal stress → /abaqus-coupled-analysis
  • Heat transfer only → /abaqus-thermal-analysis
  • Parts touching, friction → /abaqus-contact-analysis

Workflow Steps

Execute these skills in order:

StepSkillPurpose
1/abaqus-geometryCreate part and assembly
2/abaqus-materialDefine material properties
3/abaqus-meshGenerate finite element mesh
4/abaqus-bcApply supports and constraints
5/abaqus-loadApply forces and pressures
6/abaqus-stepConfigure analysis step (optional - default is fine)
7/abaqus-jobRun the analysis
8/abaqus-odbExtract results

What to Ask User

Required Information
InputWhat to Ask
Geometry"What are the dimensions? (e.g., 100x50x20 mm)"
Material"What material? (Steel, Aluminum, or custom E/v)"
Supports"How is it supported? (fixed face, pinned points, rollers)"
Loads"What loads? (force magnitude, location, direction)"
Optional (Has Defaults)
InputDefaultAsk If
Mesh sizeAuto-calculatedStress concentrations present
Element typeC3D8RComplex curved geometry
NonlinearOFFLarge deformation expected

Key Decisions

Linear vs Nonlinear Analysis
ConditionSettingWhen
Small deformation, linear materialnlgeom=OFFDisplacements < 1% of part size
Large deformation or rotationnlgeom=ONThin structures, rubber, cables
Yielding expectednlgeom=ON + PlasticityStress > yield strength

Default: Start with linear. Switch to nonlinear if convergence issues or large deformation.

What Results to Extract
User GoalOutput VariablesAcceptance Criteria
Strength assessmentS (stress), MISESMISES < yield stress
Stiffness checkU (displacement)Max deflection acceptable
Support sizingRF (reaction force)Reactions match applied loads
Show full SKILL.md (188 more words)Show less

Validation Checkpoints

After Each Step
StepWhat to Verify
GeometryPart has cells, no error messages
MaterialSection assigned to all cells
MeshNode count OK (Learning Edition: <=1000)
BCsAt least one fixed constraint exists
LoadsApplied to correct surface/point
JobCompletes without errors in .sta file
Results Sanity Checks
CheckExpected
Reaction force sumApproximately equals applied loads
Displacement magnitudePhysically reasonable
Stress patternFollows logical load path
Max stress locationAt expected concentration points

Troubleshooting

ErrorCauseSolution
"Zero pivot"Rigid body motionAdd more BCs to constrain all 6 DOFs
"Negative eigenvalue"Buckling or instabilityCheck BCs, may need stabilization
"Too many increments"Load too largeReduce load or use more increments
"Equilibrium not achieved"Convergence failureTry smaller initial increment
"Memory exceeded"Mesh too fineIncrease element size

Feedback Loops

  • Mesh fails: Return to geometry, add partitions or simplify
  • Zero pivot error: Return to BCs, ensure all rigid body modes constrained
  • Unreasonable results: Verify material properties, check load direction/sign
  • Stress too high: Either design issue (expected) or incorrect BC/load setup
