The course alone probably will not be enough for adequate use of the software. It may be enough to overwhelm you and it can serve as an OK starting point- but as Icebreaker mentioned, using the "Getting Started with Abaqus" manual is probably your best bet to really help you understand how to navigate through the software. Then from there looking at the "Abaqus/CAE User's Guide" and for additional detail referencing the "Abaqus Analysis User's Guide"
Time spent learning how to use the provided user manuals and then reading through them is probably the only way to go if you are tackling the software on your own.
Good luck!
