Rationale
Engineering L3: the Verification Manual ships input files for each feature verified against exact or published results; the Example Problems Manual has 75+ detailed cases; the Benchmarks Manual includes NAFEMS problems, all fetchable from the installation.
Scale
75+ detailed cases in the Example Problems Manual; basic test cases in the Verification Manual; NAFEMS benchmarks in the Benchmarks Manual (The Abaqus documentation set (v6.11/v2025 public mirror) lists three manuals; input files ship with the installation and are extracted via abaqus fetch. Checked 2026-10-25.)
License
Proprietary but free — Manuals and input files ship with Abaqus for feature verification and learning; commercial Abaqus/SIMULIA use needs a license, and the input files are not distributed separately.

Why it is listed

The Abaqus documentation suite is the canonical reference for nonlinear structural verification: the Verification Manual proves each individual program feature against exact calculations or published results, the Example Problems Manual illustrates real linear and nonlinear analyses, and the Benchmarks Manual embeds the NAFEMS problems.

Readiness assessment

All associated input files are provided with the Abaqus installation and can be fetched with the abaqus fetch utility, so you can reproduce every case yourself — an L3 drop-in for checking element, material and procedure behavior.

Practical notes

Access is gated because the input files ship only with a licensed Abaqus installation; a SIMULIA license is required to actually run the cases.
