No. I am able to launch ABAQUS from a remote machine (SGI), but I want to run it locally.

I have ABAQUS 6.3.1 for Windows installed on my Windows 2000 laptop. I also have the current cygwin and cygwin-xfree installed and working properly and I'm using the waimea window manager. I'm starting ABAQUS from a Windows Command Prompt via "abaqus -cae" or from the Star Menu or from a cygwin bash shell. I get the follow error messages: "ABAQUS Error: The Exceed executable could not be located. This may indicate a problem with the Exceed installation or an upgrade to the Exceed installation." "First, please check that you have Exceed installed and working correctly. Then, please reinstall your ABAQUS Products in order to resolve this problem. If this issue persists, please contact your local ABAQUS support office for further assistance." I don't have Exceed installed and I was hoping there is a way to use the cygwin XFree86 server in place of Exceed. I'm assuming I have to edit the abaqus_v6.env and/or graphicsConfig.env files, but I don't know what changes to make or if it is even possible to do this. Maybe Exceed is really required, as the ABAQUS documentation indicates. Kevin. > Harold > > Kevin Van Workum wrote: > > > Has anyone got ABAQUS to use the cygwin x-server?
