Problems in abaqus execution in command window
Problems in abaqus execution in command window
(OP)
I just installed abaqus v6.4 and is having difficulty getting abaqus to execute in the abaqus command window.
I typed in the "abaqus j=xx inter" at the command window prompt and it is displayed as:
E:\Temp\abaqus j=xx inter
and the following error message was observed in the command window:
'abaqus' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
I have a hunch that this has something to do with the abaqus env file and I probably need to include a line to the abaqus path. Can anyone show me what is the relevant command to be added to the env file.
Thanks in advance

Right-click on My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables.
Under System Variables there should be a PATH variable. Check to see that <ABAQUS Install Dir>\Commands is set, if not, add it yourself. On XP, you may have to have admin rights to do this.

RE: Problems in abaqus execution in command window
It looks as if as from V6 and above, commands to run ABAQUS at the command line are kept in c:\ABAQUS\Commands. This makes it independent of the version number. For instance, I can run ABAQUS either by typing 'abaqus j=xxx' or 'abq655 j=xxx'. The abaqus.bat file points to the last version that you installed on the machine.
So as long as c:\ABAQUS\Commands is pathed, you should be OK.
