PolyUMod Installation for Abaqus

In order for Abaqus to find the PolyUMod library you need to set the usub_lib_dir variable in the Abaqus environment file called abaqus_v6.env. Abaqus searches for this file in 3 locations: the current working directory, the home directory of the computer user, and an Abaqus install directory. More information about the environment file is available in the Abaqus documentation Section 3.3.1.

One a Windows computer you can find your home directory using the %userprofile% path as shown in the following image.

Note that the default behavior of the PolyUMod installer is to add the necessary commands to the abaqus_v6.env file in the user’s home directory.

Here is the recommended code for the abaqus_v6.env file:

# PolyUMod additions
if True:
   import os
   file = []
   files = os.listdir(os.getcwd())
   match = 0
   for file in files:
      if file.find('libexplicitU.so') > -1: match = 1
      if file.find('libexplicitU-D.so') > -1: match = 1
      if file.find('libstandardU.so') > -1: match = 1
   if match == 0:
      if '2018' in os.environ['ABA_COMMAND']:
         usub_lib_dir = '/opt/Veryst/PolyUMod_Abaqus_2018'
      elif '2019' in os.environ['ABA_COMMAND']:
         usub_lib_dir = '/opt/Veryst/PolyUMod_Abaqus_2019'
      elif '2020' in os.environ['ABA_COMMAND']:
         usub_lib_dir = '/opt/Veryst/PolyUMod_Abaqus_2020'
      else:
         print '***Error: Unknown version of Abaqus. PolyUMod not activated.'
   else:
      usub_lib_dir = os.getcwd()
   try:
      print '** usub_lib_dir = ' + usub_lib_dir
      print '** veryst_LICENSE = ' + os.environ['veryst_LICENSE']
   except:
      pass
   del files, file, match, os
