OS Level IRIX 6.5.8
Additional Requirements for specific Abaqus Products and Features
Product/Feature Requirement Specification (Tier 1)
Abaqus/CAE, Abaqus/Viewer Graphics Interactive products are not supported on this platform
Building post processing applications (Abaqus make utility with C++) C++ Compiler MIPSpro C++ 7.3.1.3m
User Subroutines and building post processing applications with Fortran (Abaqus make utility with Fortran and Abaqus user subroutines) Fortran Compiler MIPSpro FORTRAN 77 7.3.1.3m
Abaqus/Standard & Abaqus/Explicit
MPI based parallel execution
MPI MPT 1.9 or Contact your SGI vendor.
Abaqus/Standard & Abaqus/Explicit
MPI-based Distributed Memory Parallel execution
Interconnect for DMP Distributed memory parallel is not supported on this platform. Use shared memory parallel.
FSI Co-simulation using MpCCI MpCCI
(Fraunhofer SCAI)
MpCCI Version 3.0.51
Abaqus installation CD-ROM mount -rt iso9660 device /cdrom
where device is the CD-ROM device on your system. The CD-ROM will be mounted automatically if "mediad" is running.
1SIMULIA intends to qualify and support Abaqus Version 6.6 with MpCCI 3.0.5 and FLUENT 6.3. However, delays with the official release of both MpCCI 3.0.5 and FLUENT 6.3 caused full qualification of FSI Co-simulation to lag the release of Abaqus V6.6.  In the interim, FSI Co-simulation using MpCCI with Abaqus Version 6.6 has been partially qualified using pre-release versions of MpCCI 3.0.5 and FLUENT 6.3. Until qualification can be completed with released versions of MpCCI and Fluent; SIMULIA recommends that interested FSI users continue to use Abaqus V6.5, MpCCI 3.0.4 and FLUENT 6.2.16.  Check back for new information which will be posted here as qualification progresses for FSI Co-simulation.
