Abaqus 2020 and up

[AJJLagerweij]

Dear Franaudo,

Thanks for the very useful outline of steps. Today I installed Abaqus 2022 on Ubuntu 20.04 and without your guide I would not have been able to do it.

Sadly, there are some major differences in folder structure since 2020. There is no more /usr/DessaultSystemes/ folder and nothing gets installed into /opt/. I've figured out the new location of everything and updated the guide accordingly. You can find that here.

In the end, there is however a single issue that I have remaining, the font size changes. I can't seem to get that working. Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong there?

Kind Regards,
Bram

Hi @AJJLagerweij ,

thanks for your feedback. I am happy that you found this guide useful! Maybe the best way to incorporate your changes is to create a pull request to this repo, so we keep it up-to-date.

Regarding the font size, unfortunately I haven't tried to install the latest Abaqus on linux yet, so I am not sure I can help you.
Maybe if you describe the error we can find a solution.

Ciao,
FR

Hi all,

I just followed the installation steps from @AJJLagerweij PR and noticed that in the step "Make abaqus command available from any directory" there is a additional (`) character at the end of the command that should be removed. Other than that easy fix, everything up to "Shortcuts" works great (didn't need to do anything past that) and I have ABAQUS 2022 running on my Linux workstation.

On a side note, have either of you ever managed to get the features from SMApy to work? Commands like

abaqus licensing -ru

return for me this error:

Thanks for noticing the error.

Regarding the abaqus licensing -ru, I run into the same issue as you do. I didn't catch that before, as I didn't need it. I have no cue what the issue exactly is, nor how to solve it. Let's hope someone else does.

@AJJLagerweij thanks again for your pull request.
@jcappola sorry, I haven't tested it and I have no longer ubuntu on my machine.

Hi guys (and everyone who finds this in the future),

It is that time of year again. I've gone through the installation of ABAQUS 2023 on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS using the updates proposed by AJJLagerweij. Everything worked out just about the same except "2022" is now "2023" everywhere. The modification of the custom_v6.env file to add in the FlexNET required adding in the two lines:

license_server_type=FLEXNET
abaquslm_license_file="@<your_domain>"

since the file now(?) has some strange python-ic redirect to a licensing.env file which I commented out.

As for the bug where "abaqus licensing -ru" gives a Python traceback error instead of license usage information, you can simply run

sudo apt install lsb

and it will work. See (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61405706/coudnt-find-location-of-python-module).

Amazing! Thanks a lot :)
