Abaqus 6.12 starting error
Abaqus 6.12 starting error
(OP)
Hey guys,
I use a shared computer at uni, with Windows 7. This morning I tried to start my Abaqus and got this message:
"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
Abaqus Error: Unable to shutdown executable for Abaqus/CAE. Exiting..."
And then comes another box saying:
"SMACgmCaeGuiMod has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avaiable."
I searched in the forum for some similar thread, but couldn't find. Searching in other forums, I tried to add some commands in the abaqus_v6.env file, but kept on failing.
I have no idea what can be wrong. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, fail. Do you guys have any idea of what can I do for fixing it?

Try running abaqus with these startup options:
abaqus cae noenvstartup
abaqus cae noGui
abaqus cae noSavedGuiOptions
can you post the contents of these files:
abaqus_dir/SMA/site/abaqus.app
abaqus_dir/SMA/site/abaqus.aev
abaqus_dir being your abaqus install directory.
RE: Abaqus 6.12 starting error
I can run the prompt, I don't know if that is abaqus viewer, but I cannot see the software interface. It reads the licenses and then brings that message I've posted before.
I tried all those commands on Abaqus Command and didn't succeed. "Abaqus/CAE Kernel exited with an error", "cae exited with an error" and "Command line option "noSavedGuiOptions" may not be used with "cae"", respectively.
So I tried "abaqus noSavedGuiOptions" and failed again ("Abaqus/Analysis exited with error(s)").
And here it is:
abaqus.app:
"###################################################################
# Table of valid application names
# The first argument in the line is an application name;
# The second one is a relative path wrt ABA_PATH where
# the application is found. Exception is perl which
# is sought using PATH environment variable
# Any arguments following the first two will be passed
# to the application. Use -argument1 value
# -argument2 ... syntax.

RE: Abaqus 6.12 starting error
So either I'm wrong or they added the mod in one of the default folders.
Maybe you can do a system wide search for SMACgmCaeGuiMod, including the text inside files.
Else I have no idea.

RE: Abaqus 6.12 starting error
The first one is on abaqus_dir\Abaqus\6.12-1\code\productIC, which I posted the content;
There are also two shortcuts (one in the Administrator\Recent path) and another one in Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent Items;
And a last one with no path, no type specified just a internet explorer icon with that name, and if I try to open, it says that windows could not find...
Any idea?
Cheers!

RE: Abaqus 6.12 starting error
Hi there,
I think it might have something to do with drivers or windows updates. I've formatted my laptop (sony vaio VPC series) and installed Abaqus 6.12 and Abaqus was running fine. After a few system updates, it stopped working...
Did you manage to solve this issue recently?
RE: Abaqus 6.12 starting error
RE: Abaqus 6.12 starting error
what is env file?
RE: Abaqus 6.12 starting error
I've solved it before formatting my computer. However, now I've had the same problem in another computer.
If I toggle "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR", it works perfectly.
Hope it helps.
