This documentation and software is licensed under an academic license agreement between MIT and Dassault Systemes Simulia Corp. You will need the following items (access limited to students/faculty/staff): You need to maintain network connectivity during installation and it you're off campus, you need to be running the VPN before you run the installers.

You just need to edit the abaquslm_license_file parameter line in a local Abaqus environment file abaqus_v6.env (release 6.14-3 and earlier) or custom_v6.env (release 2016) as shown here. If you have machines where Abaqus is already installed and you want to get licenses from the Central License Server, you don't need to perform the installation steps below. Switching an existing Abaqus installation to get licenses from the Central License Server Running Abaqus this way requires that you maintain network connectivity, and requires use of the MIT VPN if you are off the MIT campus.You will not need to update the annual license file, this is handled on the server.You will not need to register with Simulia or download anything from their web site.It requires a 64 bit operating system (Windows or Linux). This Abaqus installation procedure is only authorized for MIT student/faculty/staff users. Linux documentation installation (should be installed first).Windows documentation installation (should be installed first).Switching an existing Abaqus installation to get licenses from the Central License Server.Titan Computers Workstations with higher processor core frequency and NVIDIA Quadro cards with multiple GPUs will deliver an ideal performance for SIMULIA Abaqus 6.13 allowing to nearly double the number of simulations comparing to CPU-only systems in a given period of time on Abaqus / CAE simulations. NVIDIA GPUs acceleration enables faster results for more efficient computation and job turnaround times, delivering more license utilization for the same investment. SIMULIA Abaqus is both a CPU frequency and GPU centric application. SIMULIA customers in a wide range of industries including aerospace, automotive, consumer packaged goods, energy and life sciences are using Abaqus to explore the real-world physical behavior of products and materials, in order to improve performance, reliability and safety, while reducing development time and costs. Abaqus delivers on SIMULIA's strategic commitment to provide scalable, high-quality realistic simulation solutions with new capabilities and more than 100 customer-requested enhancements.
