Abaqus Version 6.5 System Requirements View system requirements and tested configurations for Abaqus Version 6.5.
To determine the operating
system level, host ID, compiler levels (if installed), and any
additional requirements, run the command abaqus info=system,
where abaqus is the command for the execution procedure
for the version you are running.
Compilers
No additional compilers or
libraries are required to run Abaqus. For Version 6.5, a FORTRAN
compiler is required to compile and link user subroutines for
Abaqus. If you prefer to write user subroutines in languages other
than FORTRAN, you must have the FORTRAN compiler specified, a
compiler for the language used, and the knowledge of how to call
routines in that language from FORTRAN. Abaqus, Inc cannot guarantee
compatibility of Abaqus with user subroutines written in programming
languages other than FORTRAN.
User-written postprocessing
programs created with Abaqus/Make in Version 6.5 should be compiled
using the compiler for the program language and linked using a
C++ compiler. Therefore, both a FORTRAN and C++ compiler are required
for user-written FORTRAN programs. User-written programs, compiled
and linked in a previous version of Abaqus (before Version 6.2)
with Abaqus/Make and processing only the results (.fil) file,
can still be used with a Version 6.5 results file without any
change. In these instances no C++ compiler is required. The FORTRAN
and C++ compilers listed here are those that Abaqus, Inc. expects
to use to test Version 6.5-1.
Additional libraries and/or
patches required to run Abaqus are listed also. In most cases,
the required libraries are included with Abaqus; otherwise, they should
be obtained by contacting your hardware vendor. Required patches
must be installed by the user. Executable versions of Python and
Perl will be included with and used by Abaqus; Python includes
standard and customized modules.
MPI is required for the MPI-based
parallel implementation of Abaqus/Explicit and Abaqus/Standard.
MPI is supported for shared memory processing and distributed
memory processing on all indicated platforms for Version 6.5.
Documentation
Abaqus Version 6.5 supports online documentation in HTML
format that can be viewed through a web browser. See platform requirements
below for the required web browser. Abaqus HTML-based documentation can be
served to all supported platforms from a web server installed on only one
computer on a network. HTML-based Documentation need not be installed on each
system on which Abaqus runs. In addition, a CD-ROM containing PDF
documentation for viewing from the CD-ROM using an appropriate PDF browser is provided.
Versions of the web browsers or PDF readers later than those listed below are expected
to offer acceptable performance.
