  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 3 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by Cai-aa on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Abaqus Static Analysis AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub/tree/main/Skill/abaqus/analysis/abaqus-static-analysis
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub.git /tmp/CAE-Agent-Hub
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/CAE-Agent-Hub/Skill/abaqus/analysis/abaqus-static-analysis .claude/skills/abaqus-static-analysis
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Abaqus Static Analysis in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Abaqus Static Analysis on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Abaqus Static Analysis is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

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

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

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

Code Patterns

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Abaqus Static Analysis AI skill do?

Complete workflow for static structural analysis. Use when analyzing stress, displacement, or reaction forces under constant loads. For strength and stiffness evaluation.

Why use Abaqus Static Analysis on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Abaqus Static Analysis is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Abaqus Static Analysis in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub/tree/main/Skill/abaqus/analysis/abaqus-static-analysis. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Abaqus Static Analysis?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Abaqus Static Analysis?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Abaqus Static Analysis with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Abaqus Static Analysis AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Cai-aa under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
