Abaqus Student Edition

Installation Instructions
Product features and limitations
The Abaqus Student Edition consists of Abaqus/Standard, Abaqus/Explicit, and Abaqus/CAE.
Full HTML documentation is included.
The maximum model size is limited to 1000 nodes for structural analysis and postprocessing.
Features requiring compilers (user subroutines, Abaqus make, C++ ODB API) are not available.
Parallel execution is not available.
Add-on products are not available.
Abaqus Student Edition model databases are compatible with academically licensed but not
with commercially licensed Abaqus releases.

Before you begin:


1. Make sure you have administrator privileges, as this is required for the Abaqus Student
Edition installation.
2. Turn off all anti-virus software.
3. Only 64-bit Windows operating systems are allowed, not 32-bit Windows. If you are
unsure, open a command prompt window and type systeminfo in the window. If the
System type field says X86-based PC, you have a 32-bit OS. If it says X64-based PC, you
have a 64-bit OS.
4. Minimum supported operating systems: Windows 7, 8.1, and 10.
5. The installation will require 8.5 GB of disk space.
6. You must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 11.0.11 (minimum) installed on your computer; it
is needed by the installer.

The following are the minimal supported web browsers that can be used with the SIMULIA User
Assistance (documentation):

o Internet Explorer 11 with 11.0.11 (KB2976627)


o Firefox 45 ESR on Microsoft Windows 7
o Firefox 45 ESR on Microsoft Windows 8.1 Desktop
o Firefox x ESR, with x>45

Although access to the documentation might work on other HTML browsers, incidents specific to other
browsers are not eligible for support. However Google Chrome users should be aware that they need to
use --allow-file-access-from-files flag to enable local documentation. This is officially registered as a bug
in Google Chrome (refer to https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=47416 ), and the
follow-up of this problem must be done directly by Google.
The Abaqus Student Edition installation consists of 3 basic sections.

a) Abaqus HTML Documentation Installation (5.8 GB disk space)


b) Abaqus Product Installation (2.7 GB disk space)
c) Abaqus Installation Verification

Detailed steps for all sections are included below. The images shown below are from an installation of
SIMULIA Abaqus Student Edition 2017 on Windows 10. Other operating systems may look slightly
different.

Step 1
Extract the downloaded media .zip file using 7-Zip into a folder/directory of your choice.

Note: This path must be less than 60 characters, for example: C:\downloads

This download location is different from the folder/directory where the products will be installed (and
may optionally be deleted once installation is complete).

It is recommended that you use the free 7-Zip utility (V4.57 or higher) which handles the zip format.
If you do not have 7-Zip, download the latest version at http://www.7-zip.org .

Step 2
Run the following executable from the extracted media directory to verify the integrity of the extracted
media:

c:\downloads\SIMULIA_Abaqus_Student.Windows64\1\0Data\intel_a\DSYInsMediaCheck.exe

Step 3
Double-click the setup.exe executable in the extracted media to begin the installation process:

c:\downloads\SIMULIA_Abaqus_Student.Windows64\1\setup.exe
Step 4
Read and accept the terms of the license agreement to continue. Click Next .
Step 5
You will be asked to provide an installation directory.

NOTE: This location is different from extracted media folder.

Choose your installation directory and click Next .


Step 6
Choose the location for your Abaqus job files and click Next .
Step 7
Review the information in the pre-installation summary. Click Install when you are ready to proceed.
Step 8
First, the Abaqus Student Edition HTML Documentation is installed. This process may take up to 30
minutes to complete.
Step 9
After the documentation installation completes the Abaqus Student Edition product installation will
start.
Step 10
Once the Abaqus product installation has completed, the product verification begins automatically. This
tests the integrity of the installation.
Step 11
After verification completes, a panel is displayed giving you the path to where the verification results are
located and information about launching the Abaqus Student Edition software.

Open the verification-results.html file specified in the panel for additional information and
troubleshooting.
Step 12
After clicking Continue the final screen will appear. Clicking Close will finish the installation and exit the
window.

Known Issues:

On Windows 10, Microsoft Edge is not supported for the User Assistance (documentation). If
Microsoft Edge is configured as your default browser, youll need to change your default
browser to either Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox in order for the Abaqus User Assistance to
launch properly from Abaqus Student Edition.

Some User Assistance (documentation) contains mathematical notation written in the MathML
markup language. To render this notation in HTML output, the Open Source MathJax javascript
package is used. The fonts that MathJax normally uses are webfonts, included with the
documentation and downloadable by MathJax as it performs the rendering.

If using Mozilla Firefox for your browser to use the User Assistance, the math may display as a
[Math Processing Error]. If that is the case, you will need to install the MathJax TeX Open Type fonts on
the local computer. Installing the appropriate fonts is straightforward. The fonts are the Open Type
MathJax TeX fonts found in:

<Parent Installation
directory>/Documentation/2017SE/English/MathJax/fonts/HTML-CSS/TeX/otf

where Parent Installation directory is the directory you specified during installation in which
the documentation has been installed.

With appropriate user privileges (e.g., by running as "Administrator"), the files should be copied
to one of the computer's font directories and installed as required by the operating system.

For example, on Windows the font directory is C:\Windows\Fonts and to install any or all
of the fonts, just right-click a selection and choose Install.
