ABAQUS Installation Instructions
The steps given in the above web page is essentially the same as logging into the CUED Teaching System except for the SSH tunnelling commands. Therefore follow the instructions given in the above page upto logging into the Teaching System.
However use the following to the PuTTY ssh tunnel setting :
27000 abaqus-lmserv.eng.cam.ac.uk:27000 20000 abaqus-lmserv.eng.cam.ac.uk:20000If you plan to use matlab as well, also add the following:
20001 matlab-lmserv.eng.cam.ac.uk.20001
Once you have established the SSH connection you can minimise the PuTTY window.
Copy c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts to tmphosts.
Note that the "etc" directory may have READ ONLY status.
To unset it : START ---> My Computer ---> Windows ---> system32 ---> drivers.
Then Right Mouse Click on the "etc" folder and select PROPERTIES from the menu. In the dialogue box uncheck/unset READ ONLY attribute. Then click on OK/APPLY. You need to set it back to READ ONLY later when you have ABAQUS working.
Edit "tmphosts" and add the following 3 lines and save it.
127.0.0.1 abaqus-lmserv 127.0.0.1 matlab-lmserv 127.0.0.1 localhost
Copy this file as "hosts" in the same directory.
o Start -> Control Panel -> Network connections ->
For the next step choose the icon for whichever option is used to connect
to the Internet : LAN or LAN2 or Wireless ->
(note : LAN stands for Local Area Network )
RIGHT MOUSE Click on that icon and from the Menu which pops up select "Properties"
scroll down and select "Internet Protocols (TCP/IP)" ->
Click on "Properties" button in the same dialogue box.
In the new dialogue box click on "Advanced..."
From the new dialogue box select "WINS" Tab.
Check "Enable LMHOSTS lookup" and click on "Import LMHOSTS...", browse to (say)
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\tmphosts and click "open".
Click on OK on all the dialogue boxes opened and CLOSE these.
First you need to change the license server details for remote access.
Find the file abaqus_v6.env in the ABAQUS installation directory. If the default directory name is used it will be in the the following directory : C:\ABAQUS\6.8-1\site
Open the abaqus_v6.env file using notepad. Find the line containing ABAQUS_LMSERV and change it to ABAQUS_LMSERV="27000@abaqus-lmserv" and update the file. Once secure shell connection has been established and logged into gate start the ABAQUS program.
START -> All Programs -> ABAQUS 6.8-1 -> ABAQUS CAE
If you get a licensing error try the following change:
ABAQUS_LMSERV="27000@localhost"
If this does not work check the following files :
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\tmphosts, lmhosts, hosts for the following entries :
127.0.0.1 abaqus-lmserv 127.0.0.1 matlab-lmserv 127.0.0.1 localhostIf it is the case then report this problem with screen dumps of error message.
In a DOS window (DOS prompt) type : nestat -a > netstat.dat
and include this in the email.
Also include the results of ping and telnet.
ping localhost telnet localhost 27000
127.0.0.1 localhost
Edit the PuTTy session and enable X11 forwarding (Tick the box) and set
X Display location = localhost
If you run into any problems email a description of it to the following : Paul Long (pml29@eng.cam.ac.uk) abaqus-support@eng.cam.ac.uk.
Include screen dumps of any error messages.
