Request for ABAQUS 2023. Have asked Mech Eng if they have installers for that version.

[balston]

I'm chasing Mech Eng IT Support about this.

[balston]

email sent to Mech Eng IT Support asking for 2023 Linux installers.

[balston]

I have a response from Mech Eng IT support:

Hi Brian,

I have downloaded Abaqus 2023 package for all OS, do you have somewhere I can upload it? I tried sharepoint but its too big.

It's 17GB.

Regards, James

suggested a Myriad account if they have one or a shared Dropbox folder.

[balston]

I've set up a Myriad account for one of the Mech Eng IT support people and suggested they scp the installer to their Myriad Scratch directory. I’m now waiting for a response.

[balston]

Nothing so I'm going to chase Mech Eng about this again. Will probably contact the license holder this time.

[balston]

I have sent an email to the license holder.

I've finally got the ABAQUS 2023 and 2024 Linux installers - approx. 16G each. They are on my laptop at the the moment. I've started transferring them to Myriad which will probably take the rest of today.

[balston]

The ABAQUS 2023 and 2024 Linux installer archives are now on Myriad in the ccspapp application management account:

/home/ccspapp/Scratch/Software/ABAQUS

[balston]

Unpacked all 6 archives. Looks like documentation can be installed from:

./2024/AM_SIM_Abaqus_Extend.AllOS/1/

and the Linux version from:

./2024/AM_SIM_Abaqus_Extend.AllOS/5/SIMULIA_EstablishedProducts/Linux64/1/

In both there's a StartGUI.sh install script.

[balston]

Both the installers for 2023 and 2024 will not run on RedHat 7. I have been investigating a possible workaround while may or may not work.

[balston]

I've managed to get the installed ABAQUS 2024 onto Myriad.

I'm currently testing using the following module files:

module use --append /home/ccaabaa/lib/modulefiles/applications
module -f unload compilers mpi gcc-libs
module load beta-modules
module load gcc-libs/10.2.0
module load abaqus/2024

with the ABAQUS module being picked up from my HOME. My test job is currently failing with:

and on checking:

I get:

Neither ABAQUS 2023 or 2024 will run on RedHat 7. We will need to wait until the cluster are updated to RedHat 9 which is due to take place sometime this calendar year.

It may be possible to use a container to run ABAQUS batch jobs but this has not been investigated.
