Description: The Abaqus 2016 installer is changed to use the Dassault Systèmes standard installer. The installation now requires the use of separate installers for Abaqus/CAE and for the Abaqus solvers (services). You must install the solvers first and then give the location (path) to the Abaqus/CAE installation to allow interoperability.
A complete Abaqus installation includes the following separate installers:
Abaqus documentation.
Abaqus licensing. You can use either FLEXnet licensing or Dassault Systèmes licensing, depending on which type of license file you have.
Abaqus services: Abaqus/Standard solver, Abaqus/Explicit solver, and Abaqus/CFD solver.
(optional) CAA developer software for Abaqus APIs: output database (ODB) API, user subroutines, and SIMULIA Co-Simulation Engine. This software includes libraries, .h header files, and documentation.
Abaqus/CAE interactive GUI.
For complete information, see Chapter 2, “Installing Abaqus,” of the Abaqus Installation and Licensing Guide.
