Abaqus on Ubuntu 9.10

[Jorgen]

I happy to announce that the latest version of Abaqus (v6.9) works fine also on the latest version of Ubuntu 9.10. I performed the same steps as listed in the following thread (http://polymerfem.com/forums/showthread.php?t=) to install the Abaqus software.

The new version of Ubuntu does not come with libstdc++5, but instead the newer libstdc++6. To make the software work I had to download and install the libstdc++5 library from the following debian page (http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/libstdc++5).

Hi Jorgen,

i managed to install Abaqus 6.8-2 on Ubuntu 9.04, but when i try to start Abaqus with:

sudo ./abaqus cae

the License is checked out and then the system freezes, i can still move the mouse but thats it. I have to restart the system manually with the reset button.

If i run:

sudo ./abaqus information=system

i get:

But i have all required drivers, libraries and the the gnu compiler suite. I am quite sure Abaqus is looking in the wrong directories, because it cannot detect the linux-distribution.

I allready looked in the abaqus_v6.env, but i do not know how to change it properly.

Can you help me? Thanks in advance.

First, do not run CAE as a superuser, that is do not use the sudo command.

I recommend that you try the command:


abaqus cae -mesa

Hello,
I use power-law creep model in Abaqus,
but it is in viscos step in Abaqus/Standard,
if I want to use remeshing technique,
whether ALE method can be used for power-law creep material?

I am not sure. Have you tried it?
