1- Introduction

2- Installation of Intel Compiler Suite Professional

In order to install ABAQUS on a LINUX platform, we should have following system requirements (we tested it on this):

Processor

Operating System Ubuntu 9.10

Compilers C++, FORTRAN

CD-ROM Mounted Automatically

To install compiler, go through the following steps;

Step 1: go to http://www.google.com/

Step 2: type “ Intel compiler suite professional edition for Linux ”

Step 3: Fill out the registration form ( a serial number for this registration is sent to your mail-ID ) for free non-commercial version

2- Installation of Intel Compiler Suite Professional

Step 4: Download the following files on “Intel compiler suite professional edition for Linux”

Intel® C++ Compiler Professional Edition for Linux* Download files ›

Intel® Fortran Compiler Professional Edition for Linux* Download files ›

Step 5: When you click on “Download files ›” following list will appear,

Product for IA-32/Intel® 64

Product for IA-32

Product for Intel® 64 Select (if you have a 64 bit machine of x86_64 type)

Product for IA-64

Step 6: Select Product for Intel® 64 for both C++ and Fortran compilers

2- Installation of Intel Compiler Suite Professional

Step 7: The downloaded files will look similar as below,

l_cproc_p_11.1.072_intel64.tgz (file for C++ compiler)

l_cprof_p_11.1.072_intel64.tgz (file for Fortran compiler)

NCOM_L_CMP__NDM4-ZN42BLPS.lic (this is a License File, sent to your Email at the time of registration)

Step 8: The downloaded files is of .tgz format ( it is a double compressed folder), it can be unzipped in the following way on your Linux terminal

For Ex.:jeru@hercules:~$ tar xvzf l_cproc_p_11.1.072_intel64.tgz

jeru@hercules:~$ tar xvzf l_cprof_p_11.1.072_intel64.tgz

Note: By using tar command we can unzip .tgz folder

2- Installation of Intel Compiler Suite Professional

Step 9: Finally to install C++ and Fortran compiler use the following Command on Linux terminal

For Ex.:jeru@hercules:~$ l_cproc_p_11.1.072_intel64/install

jeru@hercules:~$ l_cprof_p_11.1.072_intel64/install

Note: By using sudo apt-get install command, we can install packages that are on the Ubuntu repository, but these packages are installed manually by us and have their own installation script

3- Command on Linux Terminal

Step 1: jeru@hercules:~$ mkdir programs

PART 1

Step 2: jeru@hercules:~$ cd programs

Step 3: jeru@hercules:~/programs$ ls

Step 4: jeru@hercules:~/programs$ mkdir intelcompilers

Step 5: jeru@hercules:~/programs/intelcompilers$ ls

Step 6: jeru@hercules:~/programs/intelcompilers$ cp -r /home/jeru/Downloads/l_cproc_p_11.1.072_intel64.tgz ./

Step 7: jeru@hercules:~/programs/intelcompilers$ cp -r /home/jeru/Downloads/l_cprof_p_11.1.072_intel64.tgz ./

Step 8: jeru@hercules:~/programs/intelcompilers$ cp /home/jeru/Downloads/NCOM_L_CMP__NDM4- ZN42BLPS.lic ./

Step 9: jeru@hercules:~/programs/intelcompilers$ tar xvzf l_cproc_p_11.1.072_intel64.tgz

Step 10: jeru@hercules:~/programs/intelcompilers$ tar xvzf l_cprof_p_11.1.072_intel64.tgz

Step 11: jeru@hercules:~/programs/intelcompilers$ ./l_cproc_p_11.1.072_intel64/install.sh

Step 12: jeru@hercules:~/programs/intelcompilers$ ./l_cprof_p_11.1.072_intel64/install.sh

4- Installation of ABAQUS Software

PART 2 (you need to be root, or use “sudo” in front of all commands)

Step 1: root@hercules:~/usr/local$ mkdir abaqus

Step 2: root@hercules:~/usr/local$ /media/cdrom/setup -nosystemchecks

Step 3: Scratch directory: choose /tmp

Step 4: Keep pressing NEXT ( All the Abaqus files will get installed )

Step 5: root@hercules:~$ abq69ef1.exe cae&

Step 6: ABAQUS work bench will be launched
