Setting Abaqus Component Preferences

You can control some settings that the Abaqus component uses each time you first open it.

  1. From the Isight Design Gateway Edit menu, select Preferences.

    The Preferences dialog box appears.

  2. Expand the Components folder on the left side of the dialog box, and select Abaqus.

  3. In the Config File Path box, specify the location and name of the Abaqus configuration file.

    This setting needs to be changed only if you moved the file from its default installation location.

  4. In the Abaqus Command box, set the default Abaqus command line option for the component.

    These options allow you to specify what settings will appear in the corresponding boxes on the Abaqus Component Editor’s Execution tab (as described in Configuring the Abaqus Component). You can alter these settings for individual models, as desired, using the editor.

  5. Click OK to save your changes and to close the Preferences dialog box.
