- admin
-
This parameter prevents unauthorized modification of environment file
parameters. Set this parameter equal to a list of environment file parameters
that cannot be changed in a lower-level abaqus_v6.env
file. Unless otherwise noted, all system and job customization parameters can
be locked out. Commands in the installation directory have the highest
precedence, followed by commands in the user's home directory, and then
commands in the current working directory. Thus, an
Abaqus
user cannot change environment file commands that were locked out by the
Abaqus
account manager.
- ask_delete
-
If this parameter is set to
OFF, the user
will not be asked whether old job files of the same name should be deleted; the
files will be deleted automatically. The default value is
ON.
- compile_cpp
-
C++ compile command. The command used at
SIMULIA
is included in the platform-specific environment file
(win86_64.env or lnx86_64.env) in the
solvers_install_dir/os/SMA/site/
subdirectory of the
Abaqus
services installation. This command should not normally be changed. It may be
either a string or a tuple of strings. If the command is a tuple of strings,
each string must represent a single command line argument. The values of the
placemarker are determined by the
Abaqus
execution procedure or by the command line options and cannot be modified by
the user. The values of the placemarker replace the placemarker in the
compile_cpp string. The following
placemarker is available:
- %I
-
Search directories for include files.
- compile_fortran
-
Fortran compile command. The command used at
SIMULIA
is included in the platform-specific environment file
(win86_64.env or lnx86_64.env) in the
solvers_install_dir/os/SMA/site/
subdirectory of the
Abaqus
services installation. This command should not normally be changed. It may be
either a string or a tuple of strings. If the command is a tuple of strings,
each string must represent a single command line argument.
The compilation of Fortran files using Fortran 90 freeform specifications is
not supported by default. The abaqus_v6.env file in the
/SMA/site/ subdirectory of the
Abaqus
installation includes comments that discuss the compile options.
- file_format
-
Format of results file output
(ASCII or
BINARY). This
parameter is valid only for
Abaqus/Standard.
The default value is
BINARY.
- link_exe
-
Command to link a postprocessing program. The command used at
SIMULIA
is included in the platform-specific environment file
(win86_64.env or lnx86_64.env) in the
solvers_install_dir/os/SMA/site/
subdirectory of the
Abaqus
services installation. This command should not normally be changed. It can be
either a string or a tuple of strings. If the command is a tuple of strings,
each string must represent a single command line argument. The values of the
placemarkers are determined by the
Abaqus
execution procedure or by the command line options and cannot be modified by
the user. User-specified external libraries can be linked with the usual link
commands. The following placemarkers are used in
link_exe:
- %J
-
The job name (in this case the name of the executable to be created).
- %F
-
The name of the object file created from the user's source file.
- %M
-
The name of the internally created main object file.
- %B
-
The name of the shared library of utility functions.
- %O
-
The list of utility shared libraries for the output database application
public interface.
- %L
-
The list of directories containing shared libraries
(HP only).
- link_sl
-
Command to link a shared library. The command used at
SIMULIA
is included in the platform-specific environment file
(win86_64.env or lnx86_64.env) in the
solvers_install_dir/os/SMA/site/
subdirectory of the
Abaqus
services installation. This command, once its placemarkers have been exchanged,
must be a valid command on the computer system where the shared library is
linked. This command can be either a string or a tuple of strings. If the
command is a tuple of strings, each string must represent a single command line
argument. The values of the placemarkers are determined by the
Abaqus
execution procedure or by the command line options and cannot be modified by
the user. The values of the placemarkers replace the placemarkers in the
link_sl string. User-specified external
libraries can be linked with the usual link commands. The following
placemarkers are available:
- %F
-
The name of the compiled object file.
- %U
-
The name of the shared library.
- %A
-
The name of the archive of compiled object files to be linked into the
shared library.
- %B
-
The name of the shared library of utility functions.
- %E
-
The name of the file containing the names of the symbols to be exported from
the shared library.
- %L
-
The list of directories containing shared libraries
(HP only).
- nodb_cache_limit
-
Maximum size of the cache in the temporary file directory.
Abaqus/CAE
uses this cache for local data storage when you use a network ODB connector to
read from a remote output database. Set the
nodb_cache_limit parameter to the number of
megabytes to which the cache size will be limited. The minimum value of
nodb_cache_limit is 500, indicating that the
cache size is limited to 500 MB. If you set
the maximum cache size to be greater than the available free space,
Abaqus/CAE
reduces it to a value that is equal to the available free space.
- plugin_central_dir
-
Full pathname of the directory containing
Abaqus/CAE
plug-ins. In most cases this is a directory at a central location that is
accessible to all users at your site. For more information, see
The Plug-in toolset.
- usub_lib_dir
-
Full path name of the directory containing optional user-defined libraries
of
Abaqus/Standard
and/or
Abaqus/Explicit
user subroutines. Valid user subroutine libraries are platform specific, but
the file base names are the same for all platforms. The base names are
standardU, explicitU, and
explicitU-D. Use this variable to avoid the cost of
recompiling and/or relinking frequently used user subroutines. The
abaqus make utility is used to create the shared
libraries for use with this variable (see
Making user-defined executables and subroutines).
User libraries created by the user option
of the
Abaqus/Standard
and
Abaqus/Explicit
execution procedure will supersede any user libraries in this directory.
- verbose
-
If this parameter is in the environment file, the execution procedure will
print more information on job submission. Possible values are
ON,
OFF,
1, 2, and
3. Set the value to
ON or
1 to print the commands used to run application
executables and some performance data. Set the value to
2 to print licensing transaction information.
Set the value to 3 to print operating system
environment settings. The output associated with the
verbose parameter is written to standard
output. The default value is
OFF.
The following system customization parameters are used during documentation
installation and to specify a web browser to display the SIMULIA
HTML documentation and context-sensitive help in
Abaqus/CAE.
- browser_path
-
Full path to the web browser executable on Linux platforms. The value of
this parameter can be either a string or a list of strings. If a list of
strings is specified, the first string must be the full path to the web browser
executable and subsequent strings are arguments to customize the browser
behavior. If any argument strings are included, at least one of them must
contain %s for which the full uniform resource
locator (URL) to the SIMULIA
HTML documentation will be substituted.
Abaqus
automatically configures supported browsers to correctly display the
HTML documentation. The configurations are
different for each browser. This parameter can be used in conjunction with
browser_type to clarify the browser being
used. If browser_path is set equal to a
string and browser_type is not set, the
system checks the specified browser path for Firefox. If
Abaqus
does not detect Firefox,
Abaqus
assumes that an unsupported browser will be used and does not perform an
automatic configuration. This parameter is ignored on Windows platforms.
- browser_type
-
Web browser on Linux platforms. To correctly display the
HTML documentation,
Abaqus
automatically configures the browser according to the specified browser type.
The possible settings are FIREFOX and
CUSTOM_BROWSER. If you set
browser_type=CUSTOM_BROWSER
to use a web browser other than Firefox, no support or automatic configuration
is provided. For more information, see
Using a web browser not supported by Abaqus.
This parameter can be used in conjunction with
browser_path to directly specify an
executable command for the browser. If
browser_type is set to Firefox and
browser_path is not set, the system searches
the system path for Firefox. If the specified browser is not found, an error is
displayed. This parameter is ignored on Windows platforms.
- doc_root
-
Full uniform resource locator (URL) or path
to the SIMULIA
HTML documentation. This variable is set during product
installation when you provide the documentation
URL and should not normally be changed.
- doc_lang
- Language of the documentation, if more than one is available. The
default is "English".
The following parameters disallow the execution of the corresponding modules
prior to testing for license activation through the startup file. They can be
used to provide friendly messages if an attempt is made to
execute an analysis module for which your site does not have a license. Use
these parameters in conjunction with the
admin parameter to ensure uniformity across
your site.
