Notes:

• For maintenance releases 6.5-5 and higher the platform support set remains the same as 6.5-4.
• All products use 32-bit addressing, unless noted otherwise.
• Abaqus/Standard uses double floating point precision; Abaqus/Explicit offers both single and double floating point precision. Abaqus/CAE and Abaqus/Viewer use single floating point precision.
• Parallel execution of Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit is supported on all of the above-mentioned platforms. See the Parallel processing table for more details.

1. Geometry Translators for CATIA, I-DEAS, Parasolid, and Pro/ENGINEER are available as add-on options requiring additional licensing. See the Geometry Translators table below for more details on supported platforms.
2. 3Dconnexion SpaceBall motion controllers are supported and can be used for view manipulation in Abaqus/CAE and Abaqus/Viewer.
3. Includes Abaqus/Foundation as well as Abaqus/Aqua and Abaqus/Design, both of which require additional licensing.
4. Includes Intel Pentium and Xeon, and AMD Athlon processors
5. XFree86 is required.
6. Distributed memory parallel (DMP) support for Abaqus/Explicit, Abaqus/Standard domain decomposition iterative solver, and Abaqus/Standard element operations
7. Uses 64-bit memory addressing
8. Includes AMD Opteron and Intel EM64T processors
9. Requires MpCCI Version 3.0.4. See the Fraunhofer SCAI website at http://www.scai.fraunhofer.de/mpcci.html for more information.

Parallel processing of Abaqus Analysis Products

Notes:

1. SMP: Shared memory parallel
2. DMP: Distributed memory parallel; requires appropriate Message Passing Interface (MPI) libraries and interconnects. See Systems Requirements for details.
3. Threads: Thread-based parallelization mode; available only for SMP. No additional software is required for accessing Abaqus thread-based parallel capabilities.
4. MPI: Message Passing Interface (MPI)-based parallelization mode; requires appropriate MPI libraries.

Geometry translators for Abaqus/CAE

Notes:

1. Only R12 and R13 are avaialble on AIX
2. The CAD application itself is not available on the platform.
