Problem with ABAQUS VABS GUI

   Hello Everyone,

   I was following the "General_Cross_Section_Analysis_-_Step-by-Step"-tutorial for the ABAQUS VABS GUI. But when I came to the point of homogenization the SwiftComp Homogenization Window opened instead of the VABS one. It seems like there is only the SwiftComp GUI installed.

   Afterwards I realized the folder in the downloaded VABS GUI zip-file at https://cdmhub.org/resources/939 is actually called "abaqus-swiftcomp_gui".

   So, is the downloaded VABS GUI actually a SwiftComp GUI? And if so, how can I run VABS without any GUI?

    

   Thanks in advance for your help.

   Regards,

   Nils-Hendrik Leineweber

   Hello,

   The two packages (SwiftComp and VABS) are basically the same, but separated entries are provided (SwiftCompGUI.py/VABSGUI.py). If you want to use the VABS GUI, you need to start from the command 'abaqus cae -custom VABSGUI.py'. More details can be found in the Abaqus-VABS GUI manual.

   Hello,

   Without doing all those settings, can you start the GUI from the root directory of the package using this command `abaqus cae -custom SwiftCompGUI'?
