Abstract In this study, we propose the first unified implementation strategy for peridynamics in commercial finite element
method (FEM) software packages based on their application programming interface using the peridynamics-based
finite element method (PeriFEM). Using ANSYS and ABAQUS as examples, we present the numerical results and
implementation details of PeriFEM in commercial FEM software. PeriFEM is a reformulation of the traditional
FEM for solving peridynamic equations numerically. It is considered that the non-local features of peridynamics
yet possesses the same computational framework as the traditional FEM. Therefore, this implementation benefits
from the consistent computational frameworks of both PeriFEM and the traditional… More >
