Pointing Abaqus to Simulation Composite Analysis

If you are an advanced user of Abaqus, you likely use the Abaqus environment file (abaqus_v6.env) for various custom settings. If this is the case, it is important you know how to reference the Simulation Composite Analysis user subroutine library in the Abaqus environment file. This is done via the usub_lib_dir variable. Please see Section 3.2.2 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Manual for information on the abaqus_v6.env file and how to appropriately set usub_lib_dir. The value of usub_lib_dir depends on the target Abaqus version. For Abaqus 6.11 and previous versions, the change is made as follows:

usub_lib_dir = 'ASCADIR/bin/abaqus611'

and for Abaqus 6.12:

usub_lib_dir = 'ASCADIR/bin/abaqus'

where ASCADIR is the installation location chosen during the installation (C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Simulation Composite Analysis 2015.1 by default).
