ABAQUS PDE not working

[moeenhappy]

Hi,

I am trying to use Abaqus PDE to run the abaqus CAE.
When i open abaqus cae, I go to file and open Abaqus PDE. But in Abaqus pde i found that the recording button is not available for recording.
Secondly when i write a script and run the code by pushing the play button, then i got following error

*** Error - remote process did not start

Please advice me where I am wrong?

I can't help you out with the PDE, but for creating Abaqus/CAE scripts, you can open CAE, then perform the actions you wish to record. Then go to your working directory and copy the abaqus.rpy to a new file with a .py extension. Open that up and you'll see the python commands for the actions you performed. I personally use an external editor for working on my scripts rather than the built-in one. You can run your script from the command line using "abaqus cae script=name_of_script.py"

thanks for your reply.

But the thing i like in PDE is that you can run single line at a time and visually see it in abaqus cae.
infact you can also create a time lapse between execution of command and that what i want.
this operations are not possible with external editor because in that case you need to run the whole script once and thus can't visually see every action at a time

if this thing is possible without pde then please let me know

The way I generally get around that (if I need to), is to run line by line in the interpreter at the bottom of the CAE window if I really need to see changes.
