I need to find a startup file that Abaqus/CAE reads on startup to add a line of Python to modify the behavior the way I like it. I find myself adding this line manually every time I start Abaqus/CAE and I am tired of it. Like the .gpr file but .grp is a binary file--I cannot add things to it with a text editor. It has to be an initialization file, right? Or may be some other way to do it. Thanks in advance. 

I found a great tutorial for abaqus/cae at https://abaqus-docs.mit.edu/2017/English/SIMACAEGSARefMap/simagsa-m-Cae… but I cannot find the main page, which I need to navigate it; I am forced to Google for individual sections guessing at what the section titles migh be; I need a URL to the root page so I can navigate the tutorial like an ebook. 

We are looking for talented, self-motivated, and enthusiastic students with a BSc or MSc degree in mechanical or materials engineering. Students with background in any of the following areas are recommended to apply:

• Solid mechanics and finite element modelling of materials
• Crystal Plasticity: modelling or experimentation
• Thermo-mechanical characterization of materials
• Synchrotron x-ray, neutron, or electron diffraction analysis of materials

I am modeling a rectangular plate placed on a hot plate using a coupled temperature displacement type of analysis in abaqus. I have modeled it in 2D as well as 3D. I have defined a contact between hot plate and rectangular specimen. But my 2D and 3D results are different. Can any one help me in clearing my doubt. Thanks in advance.

Dear colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the ECCOMAS Thematic Conference:

"Modern Finite Element Technologies - Mathematical and Mechancial Aspects"

which takes place in Bad Honnef, Germany from 1.-3. July 2019.
Deadline for presenting a one page abstract is on 1. March 2019

I would like to invite all you, members of the Scientific Committee to
make an effort in spreading the news, and increasing the participation.
