Particularly for the support of Abaqus odb files

    *

      Only for the support of Abaqus odb files and depending on the Abaqus version you use, you will need to download the corresponding file(s), containing Abaqus libraries, from the META_POST_EXT_LIBS directory within the [ Public ] link. If the support of Abaqus odb files is not an issue then there is no need to download these files. To support, at the same time, Abaqus 6.3-4 (or earlier), Abaqus 6.4-x, Abaqus 6.5-x, Abaqus 6.6-x, Abaqus 6.7-x, Abaqus 6.8-x, Abaqus 6.9-x .odb and Abaqus 6.10-x .odb files, it is recommended to download all respective Abaqus files. Note that for the support of .odb files of Abaqus version 6.8-x or later on Windows platforms, extra actions may be required. Please refer to the SetUp Guide for more details.
    *

      The Abaqus libraries have to be downloaded once. If these files are downloaded now (or have been already downloaded with a previous µETA version), there is no need to download them again with a future version of µETA.
    *

      It is also possible to use the Abaqus libraries directly from the installation directory of the Abaqus software, if this directory is accessible. In this case you can avoid downloading the respective Abaqus libraries from the [ Public ] link.
