ABAQUS on Ubuntu 7.10

[Jorgen]

I try to keep my Linux computers up to date, and for those who are interested I am happy to announce that ABAQUS 6.7 works fine on both i86-32 and i86-64 based computers with the latest version of Ubuntu (http://ubuntu.com) Linux - 7.10. Although, I personally preferring Kubuntu. Linux-based multiple CPU (SMP / MPP) computers make great high performance computing (HPC) platforms :p

Hallo Jorgen!

eng(google):
Can you please write a brief guide as you have done. I try it since 1 week Abaqus 6.7 install, and the two cores to use but unfortunately without success. I can "LAM - MPI" not properly connected.

THANK YOU - THANK YOU

deu:
Kannst du bite eine kurze Anleitung schreiben wie du das geschafft hast. Ich versuche es seit 1 Woche Abaqus 6.7 zu installieren und die zwei Kerne zu benutzen aber leider ohne Erfolg. Ich Kann LAM-MPI nicht richtig anbinden.

DANKE - DANKE

[Jorgen]

The only "tricks" that I used was:
(1) I copied the files from the DVD to the hard drive
(2) I then ran setup --nosystemchecks
to start the installation

I have not had any problems with LAM-MPI. Is you system up to date?

Hallo,

eng(google):
The answer, Schell is:
ivko@tux:~$ sudo /daten/ABQ67/Abaqus/setup -sysinfo
sudo: /daten/ABQ67/Abaqus/setup: command not found

ivko@tux:~$ sudo /daten/ABQ67/Abaqus/setup -sysinfo
sudo: unable to execute /daten/ABQ67/Abaqus/setup: No such file or directory

ivko@tux:~$ /daten/ABQ67/Abaqus/setup -sysinfo
bash: /daten/ABQ67/Abaqus/setup: /bin/csh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

ivko@tux:~$ /daten/ABQ67/Abaqus/setup --nosystemchecks
bash: /daten/ABQ67/Abaqus/setup: /bin/csh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

ivko@tux:~$ sudo /daten/ABQ67/Abaqus/setup --nosystemchecks
sudo: unable to execute /daten/ABQ67/Abaqus/setup: No such file or directory

ivko@tux:~$

So it looks! I am slowly on despair. I can not effectively use Abaqus. Abaqus not burdened both cores.
Yes my Ubuntu is the latest stand and reinstalled. (2008-01-05 18:00)
Thank you for your effort!

Das kriege ich zum Sehen im Terminal:

So sieht es aus! Ich bin langsam am verzweifeln. Ich kann Abaqus nicht effizient benutzen. Abaqus belastet nicht die beide Kerne.
Ja meine Ubuntu ist auf neueste stand und neu installiert.(2008-01-05 18:00)

Danke für deine Mühe!!!

Have you tried to install the csh shell using:

sudo apt-get install csh

Hi everyone,

I have been following this post with interest, sice, me too, I have been trying to Install Abaqus in Ubuntu 7.10, without any success.

My version of Abaqus is 6.7-1 x32

I did not copy the content of the CDs to my PC,

Instead, i upgraded my shells using synaptic so that Ubuntu would have csh.

I installed FORTRAN, g++, MESA, sun-Java6 using synaptics.

Since the doc installer would complain about a missing libtermcap.so.2, i downloaded the rpm, uncompressed it and cp the libtermcap to /lib.

I downloaded libdrm-2.3.0.tar.gz from http://dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm/ which is a link from http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/, tared the gz, configured, make, and make install.

Once all that preparation done, I isntalled the documentation, installed the licensing, started manually the lmgrd daemon, made export LM_LICENSE_FILE=/usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat, installed the application with the --nosystemcheck option... ok.

I can run an abaqus Job in noninteractive mode only, because when i type abaqus cae in the shell it ends with an ABAQUS/CAE Kernel error...

Can somebody please give me a hint on what i did wrong?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Alex

[Jorgen]

Can you specify the exact error message that you get?

[AlexVader]

Thx for yr fast reply Jorgen,

The exact output of my shell after

%/usr/local/abaqus/Commands/abaqus cae

was

<8 out of 9 licenses remain available>.
Abaqus Error: Abaqus/CAE Kernel exited with an error.

I tryed then

%/usr/local/abaqus/Commands/abaqus cae -mesa

and I DID ITTTTTT... :-)

Finally I will be ale to DUMP AWAY WI&%$#S from my laptop,

I Have CAD tools, CFD tools, Meshing tools, and Math prototyping tools, and FEA tools... I no longer need MS Crapware... :-)

Now Just for one last question, since you seem to have experience in FEA problem solving, what would you advise for multiphysics problems in Aerospace Aircraft subsystem design problems (proabilistic/robust design->analyse sensitivities->optimize in design space) Ansys Multiphysics, ADINA, NASTRAN or ABAQUS...?


Thanks in advance

I was able to figure out how to get Abaqus installed. However, when I try to start CAE, I get this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Python/driver/driverEnv.py", line 241, in envRunFile
File "/home/ddominick/abaqus/6.7-1/site/abaqus_v6.env", line 153, in ?
del pci
NameError: name 'pci' is not defined
Abaqus Error: Error when reading environment file <type 'file'>

Any ideas on what to do?

TIA

[Jorgen]

I would try to comment out the "del pci" line in the specified abaqus_v6.env file.
That command is really not very useful anyway.

I was just doing that when I saw this thread update.

I'm now getting this error:

.../abaqus/6.7-1/exec/ABQcaeK.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Abaqus Error: Abaqus/CAE Kernel exited with an error.

?

WRT the previous error about the libstdc++.so.5 error, I found this link which I completed.

http://www.debugmode.com/userforums/viewtopic.php?t=6125

Now I'm getting this error:

/abaqus/6.7-1/exec/ABQcaeK.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
Abaqus Error: Abaqus/CAE Kernel exited with an error.

Is this because I'm running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu? If so, where would I find the 64-bit version of this lib?

TIA
