The Abaqus Release Notes contain brief descriptions of the new features available in the latest
release of the Abaqus product line. Functionality delivered in the Abaqus 2023 GA release, as well as functionality added in the first four FD (Fix Pack) releases of Abaqus 2022, is described in this guide.
Documentation updates after the GA (General Availability; the first release on a new level)
release are delivered in FD (Fix Pack) releases; the number might vary from release to
release. If new functionality is added in an FD release with no documentation delivery, the
information is included in the related Program Directory.
The sections provide short descriptions of new Abaqus features in Abaqus/Standard, Abaqus/Explicit, and Abaqus/CAE, categorized by subject.
Each entry in these sections clearly indicates the Abaqus product or products to which the feature applies and includes cross-references to more
detailed information. Summary of Changes summarizes the changes to Abaqus elements, options, user subroutines, and output variable identifiers.
