A defect is Potentially Serious when one behavior should occur, but the software is providing a wrong result or behavior that is not obvious to the user.  A defect is classified as Potentially Serious without regard for the frequency at which it may occur.

This article includes a spreadsheet listing of the SIMULIA potentially serious errors.

A plug-in is a piece of software that installs itself into another application to extend the capabilities of that application. Abaqus plug-ins execute Abaqus Scripting Interface and Abaqus GUI Toolkit commands, and they provide a way to customize Abaqus/CAE for your particular needs or preferences.

Several plug-ins are provided on the Abaqus installation CD. The portal provides example plug-ins as well as access to a community of users that fosters the advance of the Abaqus Scripting Interface and the Abaqus GUI Toolkit. You can also write your own plug-ins.

When it comes to deleting simulation data from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, there are certain do's and don'ts that one should keep in mind. Following these best practices can help you avoid leaving orphaned simulation results and ensure that your data is properly managed.

This article explains the recommended steps to delete both simulation objects and their results from 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud.

CST Bio Models Library Extension is a collection of add-on human body models, phantoms, macros and materials extending the CST Bio Models Library for bio-electromagnetics, bio-medical and high-tech applications like implants, body-worn or mobile devices or medical imaging. 

It needs to be downloaded and installed separately from the CST Studio Suite(R).

The STP-file Import Tool (SIT) is an Abaqus Plugin that simplifies the process of importing STEP (.stp) files into Abaqus/CAE.

This article discussed a way to import an STP file in Abaqus/CAE to identify the hierarchy from the STP file and reconstruct the model in CAE using the parts and instances.

Please see the SIMULIA Platforms & Configuration Support page for additional information on performance test data and detailed descriptions of the benchmark models. Select the link for the release of interest, and then select the link to the performance data.

Environment set-up consists primarily of assigning proper values to memory management parameters in the abaqus_v6.env file. There are no environment file parameters that control memory use by Abaqus/Explicit (explicit.exe) and the Abaqus/Explicit packager (package.exe). The default memory value is usually sufficient for most systems.

Batch queuing systems are designed to manage applications and compute resources, while maximizing the usage of each. Often each system is customized for a company's needs, according to available computing resources and applications supported.

This article explains a way to run Abaqus analyses using a resource manager batch queue.

On the 3DEXPERIENCE cloud platform, Simulation Manager supports executing Abaqus simulations with a precompiled user subroutine or an uncompiled user subroutine. 

This article provides users a way to compile the user subroutines on 3DEXPERIENCE R2024x cloud execution.

CST Devices is a collection of add-on SPICE models from various vendors extending the CST Device Model Library. It needs to be downloaded and installed separately from CST Studio Suite. Once installed, CST Studio Suite will automatically include the installed CST Devices into the CST Device Model Library.

This article explains that what is included in the SIMULIA CST Devices Library Extension.

To begin building the user subroutines and post-processing applications with Abaqus or 3DEXPERIENCE a supported Intel Fortran and C++ compiler environment is required.

This article discusses about software needed to build Abaqus user subroutines and/or post-processing executables.
