 * Keep. This doesn't read like advertising to me and notability can be determined by many books and news articles listed by google. --Karnesky (talk) 16:34, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep Google scholar gets nearly 50,000 hits for this software (even if most of those are just to its documentation) from a reasonable range of fields and mostly from refereed journals. –Syncategoremata (talk) 04:08, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Are you kidding? Delete Abaqus? It is a very notable subject and its notability can be easily established. I cannot find a mechanical engineering journal which has not named this software. Instead of going through the pain of nominating this article for deletion, establish its notability that's too easy. In fact, I'll get to it, now. Fleet Command (talk) 07:39, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Click Google news search at the top of the AFD. I'll list the first three results "Dassault Systemes to acquire Abaqus Inc for 413 mln usd cash - Forbes - May 17, 2005" Company notable enough to be sold for 413 million dollars in US cash, and for the sale of it to be mentioned in Forbes. "Announces New Multiphysics Technology in Abaqus Release 6.10 - Wall Street Journal - May 24, 2010" The Wall Street Journal talks about a new release of it. "STAR-CCM+ and Abaqus Co-Simulation Makes Seamless Fluid-Structure - msnbc.com - May 25, 2010" MSNBC seems to find it notable enough to talk about. And there are others of course.  Plus Google books shows results.     D r e a m Focus  09:08, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: MSNBC link is dead but don't worry: There are a lot of web site that have reported the same news with same title. Fleet Command (talk) 09:08, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
