    Is this standard business practice?

    This is definitely not "standard" industry practice. I'm using ABAQUS for years and I haven't experienced something like this. ABAQUS is at least as powerful as ANSYS. I don't know of any conversion utility from ANSYS to ABAQUS. The best would be to talk with the people from the next...

    Result in different layers?

    Hi Pablo What you need are the different section points of the cross section. In your SHELL SECTION definition you have chosen 3 integration points per layer. So you will find 15 section points for which you can plot the results in the ABAQUS/Viewer. To identify the section points on which...

    ABAQUS licensing

    Is it possible to access the ABAQUS license server through the internet? The computer, on which the license server is running, is in my office. Sometimes it would be very usefull to quickly run a small ABAQUS job on my computer at home. Thanks for your answers! Rudolf
