CAE Engineer Package — For experienced simulation engineers who want to inspect, audit, and understand their Abaqus models at the input file level. This package includes the comprehensive User Manual covering every feature of the INP Analyzer V15.8, the Learning Kit Guide with detailed walkthroughs of five analysis types, and five fully commented example INP files spanning modal, shock, SRS, random vibration, and harmonic response analysis. Whether you are reviewing your own work or evaluating models built by others, this package gives you the tools and reference material to interrogate any INP file with confidence. No Abaqus license is required to use the analyzer.

Student Package — For students and new analysts learning finite element analysis for the first time, whether in a university course or through self-study. This package teaches FEA fundamentals through the input file itself rather than through GUI button clicks. The Student Guide explains nodes, elements, materials, sections, boundary conditions, and analysis steps by walking you through actual INP file content line by line. Five progressive exercises build from static loading with hand calculation verification, through gravity and multi-material models, to modal and shock analysis. Five student-sized INP files (24 nodes each) run in Abaqus Student Edition so you can submit them to the solver and examine the results. Five additional full-size reference files covering SRS, random vibration, and harmonic response are included for reading and analyzer practice. The Learning Center tab inside the analyzer provides the theory behind each analysis type and lets you generate custom example models with guided engineering explanations for every option.

Simulation Customer Package — For design engineers, program managers, test engineers, and technical leaders who receive simulation results but do not run simulations themselves. This package teaches you how to evaluate the credibility of FEA work by inspecting the input file that produced the results. The Customer Guide walks through six critical areas to check in any simulation: mesh quality, material properties, part identification, contact definitions, boundary conditions, and analysis type selection. Each area includes specific questions to ask the analyst. Five example INP files are included so you can see what real simulation inputs look like and practice using the analyzer to inspect them. The goal is not to make you a simulation expert — it is to make you a better customer of simulation services, one who knows the difference between credible analysis and expensive guessing.
