ABAQUS Installation Procedure
Getting ABAQUS software
• Before you being please make sure your internet is working.
• Computer center provides ABAQUS v6.11 software at the following ftp address:
• ftp://ftp.cc.iitk.ac.in/pub/unix/APPLS/LINUX/Simulation/abaqus6.11/
• Download & unzip “SIM_Abaqus6.11.media.tar.gz” into folder called ‘abaqus6-11’
Location of “setup” files for installation
• Go to the “setup” file located in the directory abaqus6-11\SIM_Abaqus.media\1
Double click on setup file
ABAQUS SYSINFO Error
• If you encounter‘Abaqus sysinfo failed error, then quit the installation and do the following:
1)Open a command prompt (terminal) from the START AccessoriesCommand Prompt
2)Go to the folder “1”
3)Type “setup –nosystemchecks” for manually installing the abaqus.
ABAQUS installation process
Click OK.
Click on “Product” as the Installation type
Add the license server [email protected] as shown below
Possibility of error
Note: if you do not get this error, then proceed to slide no 13
Solution for the “invalid license” error
• The license server is added in a file called “host”.
• The file is located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
Add the highlighted text in the host file
Cannot edit/save the host file
• If you are the administrator and cannot save the file then
• Change the file permissions by editing its properties. The properties of the file can be located by right clicking on the file and choosing “properties” from the pop-down menu. (refer to next slide)
• Save the host file again and it should work.
Changing file permissions
Click continue without installing documentation
Installation and working directories
• ABAQUS installer automatically chooses ‘C:\Abaqus’ as the installation directory and ‘C:\temp’ as the working directory.
• Note: All the files that you would create in ABAQUS would later be saved in this “temp” directory. Hence, it is not a bad idea to use an appropriate name for the working directory. I use ‘C:\work’ as my working directory.
• Note: Both these directories are created by ABAQUS and you should not create them. ABAQUS does not accept the directories created by you.
Click ‘install’ to continue
…the installation is progressing
