Abaqus Configuration Guide

The Abaqus Configuration Guide contains information about customizing Abaqus 2018.

In addition, the guides in the Abaqus® documentation collection describe the capabilities of the Abaqus finite element analysis technology used in SIMULIA® applications.

For a description of the installation procedures, see the SIMULIA Established Products Installation Guide. This guide is provided on the installation media in the file SimuliaInstallationGuide.pdf.

The environment file provides options for customizing an Abaqus installation. Specifying the file system to be used to store scratch files is particularly important. For details on how to set local defaults and adjust the system configuration to run Abaqus jobs efficiently, see Customizing the Abaqus environment.
