Abaqus Error: Abaqus/CAE Kernel exited with an error, using abaqus cae

[Tommy53]

Hello,

I've just installed ABAQUS 6.8-2 on my computer which runs with linux fedora 16. The installation went well, however, when I type this command :

/usr/local/abaqus682/Commands/abq682 cae

to open ABAQUS/CAE, the linux terminal gives me this error :

Abaqus Error: Abaqus/CAE Kernel exited with an error.

with no more information. I've tried to look for a solution on various forums but didn't find a good one. The best explanation I could find was that the problem could originate from the 3D acceleration.

Did anyone else have this problem ?

I should mention that if I type :

/usr/local/abaqus682/Commands/abq682 cae -mesa

it opens ABAQUS/CAE but it is not possible to work because the program is extremelly slow.

I have this problem every now and then. I don't work in Linux and I don't open abaqus with that command. I have searched the web, but I haven't found a solution. I gave up searching, because I have a feeling there's no solution.

That's right, mesa is the only way supported on Linux.
Graphics acceleration is therefore not as good as on windows -- but still workable, on a fast system.
