All files associated with Abaqus licensing and documentation installations are stored in the SIMULIA parent directory. It is recommended that Abaqus products are also installed within the SIMULIA parent directory. The suggested name for the SIMULIA parent directory is SIMULIA; throughout this guide, the SIMULIA parent directory is referred to as simulia_dir in path listings. The following directories will be created under simulia_dir, depending on which of the installation options are chosen:
| License | Default directory for all the files associated with licensing (license file, server log file, and license options file). | |
| installation_info | Directory containing the FLEXnet license startup command and log files from the licensing installation procedure and Windows uninstaller (if used). | |
| Documentation | Default directory for all files associated with documentation. | |
| installation_info | Directory containing the command to restart the web server and log files from the documentation installation procedure and Windows uninstaller (if used). | |
| docs | Directory containing release-specific book files for an HTML plus PDF documentation installation. | |
| pdf_docs | Directory containing release-specific book files for a PDF-only documentation installation. | |
An illustration of the SIMULIA parent directory structure is shown in Figure B–1.
