The members can rotate freely at the joints. The hoist is a simple, pin-jointed truss model that is constrained at the left-hand end and mounted on rollers at the right-hand end. The example of an overhead hoist, shown in Figure 2–1, is used to illustrate the basic format of the Abaqus input file. Indeed, small analyses can be specified easily by typing the input file directly. The input file is a text file that has an intuitive, keyword-based format, so it is easy to modify using a text editor if necessary if a preprocessor such as Abaqus/CAE is used, modifications should be made using it. It contains a complete description of the numerical model. Supported platforms and configurations are subject to change without notice.The input file is the means of communication between the preprocessor, usually Abaqus/CAE, and the analysis product, Abaqus/Standard or Abaqus/Explicit. The output includes the processor specification and the number of processors and other system parameters such as graphics details (if applicable), the amount of physical and virtual memory, and file system details.įinal configurations depend on successful testing outcomes. The date listed in the individual system configuration records indicates the date the system configuration was recorded, not the date of qualification. The records contain details of system configurations used during formal qualification testing. Qualified Platform Configurations for Abaqus? for additional details on supported vs. See What is the Difference Between Supported vs. Test configurations listed here represent the subset of supported Abaqus configurations which have undergone, or are scheduled for, formal qualification testing. Test configurations are carefully selected to assure we can effectively and efficiently support all the configurations within the specified ranges. Given the large number of possible configuration permutations, even for a single platform, SIMULIA tests only a sample of the possible configurations. All test configurations for a particular platform are supported using the same Abaqus software build.
