Conditions for Usage and Licensing
| Warnung |
|---|
You are only able to work with our installed Abaqus products if you can bring your own license (see details below). Alternatively, you might consider using other Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools such as Mechanical or LS-DYNA from Ansys. Based on ABAQUS naming conventions and input style formats open-source projects like www.calculix.de might be an option, too (OpenMP parallel, MPI is experimental https://www.feacluster.com/calculix.php). |

The small number of elements in this example does not allow to use 2x96 cores. Hence, 2x48 are utilized here. But typically, if there is sufficient memory per core, we recommend using all physical cores per node (such as, in the case of standard96: |

Abaqus CAE GUI - not recommended for supercomputer use!
If you cannot set up your case input files *.inp by other means you may start a CAE GUI as a last resort on our compute nodes.
But be warned: to keep fast/small OS images on the compute node there is a minimal set of graphic drivers/libs only; X-window interactions involve high latency.
If you comply with our license terms (discussed above) you can use one of our four CAE licenses. In this case, please always add
