Just attended a FEMA introduction course put on by my provincial engineering assoc. We all received a copy of Abaqus Student Edition.
When I install the program on my Toshiba Windows Vista laptop the installation completes but when I start the program and try to draw a part instead of getting a blue grid I get a second white drawing sheet overlaying the first.I have tried numerous installs and have all the latest Vista upgrades. My copy of the DVD is good because the program works on my desktop computer.
Abaqus do not provide any support to SE users. Has anyone seen this problem and figured out a fix?
Seems Graphic Card Hardware Acceleartion Problem~
To disable the graphic card acceleration, open the file in ~\abaqus\6.7-1\site\graphicsConfig.env with any textedit tool and search the phrase "hardwareAcceleration = session.defaultGraphicsOptions.hardwareAcceleration" and add one line below it,
"hardwareAcceleration = OFF"
Hope it works :)
