the model from which Abaqus/CAE generates an input file that you
submit to Abaqus/Standard or Abaqus/Explicit for analysis. For example, you use the Property module
to define material and section properties and the Step module to choose an analysis procedure. The
Abaqus/CAE postprocessor is called the Visualization module and is also licensed as a separate product
called Abaqus/Viewer.
You enter a module by selecting it from the Module list in the context bar, as shown in Figure B–2.
Figure B–2 Selecting a module.
For the cantilever beam tutorial, you will enter the following Abaqus/CAE modules and perform the
following tasks:
Part
Sketch a two-dimensional profile and create a part representing the cantilever beam.
Property
Define the material properties and other section properties of the beam.
Assembly
Assemble the model and create sets.

Step
Configure the analysis procedure and output requests.
Load
Apply loads and boundary conditions to the beam.
Mesh
Mesh the beam.
Job
Create a job and submit it for analysis.
Visualization
View the results of the analysis.
Although the Module list in the context bar lists the modules in a logical sequence, you can move back
and forth between modules at will. However, certain obvious restrictions apply; for example, you cannot
assign section properties to geometry that has not yet been created.
A completed model contains everything that Abaqus/CAE needs to generate an input file and start
the analysis. Abaqus/CAE uses a model database to store your models. When you
