I am running an optimisation problem using Abaqus and Matlab.
Even though I have sufficient hardware resource, but I have limited number of Abaqus license.
I am wondering if there is any other software that can import the Abaqus .inp file and run the file independent of the Abaqus so I won't need any Abaqus license.
or any other suggestion that helps me bypass this problem.
Thanks
"software and can read abaqus inp file or it would be feasible to make some small changes in the INP files"
From Google search, you could try Calculix (https://github.com/calculix/)
For example:
calculix/new keywords (https://github.com/calculix/new_keywords)
"A tool to track new keywords in CalculiX and Abaqus releases. Abaqus keywords are taken from SIMULIA User Assistance. CalculiX keywords are extracted from the official PDF documentation."
calculix/konvertor (https://github.com/calculix/konvertor)
"Convert GMSH ABACUS INP file -> INP file for CGX"

i got a customer who wants to migrate from an old Fujitsu COBOL based system to our system, said that, he wants his old data to be kept in the new system, like products,manufacters, etc.I dont have the COBOL source file, i have: .DAT files, .RDD files and .FDD files.
Apparently the .DAT files are in the INDEXED organization, a sample file output bellow:
FDD output:http://textuploader.com/kxdv
RDD output:http://textuploader.com/kxdw
I can't simple read the .DAT file in notepad, i've tried the SiberDataViewer but unsuccesfull, also it gets paid to export the data.
If there's a way, can i write a program to export all these files to csv,dbf,postgres format? If you are still reading, thank you.
I do not know Fujitsu COBOL but as I see it there are a few ways you might be able to get at the data:
0) Have your customer (or someone with a compatible Fujitsu COBOL compiler) write a COBOL program to read the INDEXED file and output a SEQUENTIAL file.
1) Find a Fujitsu COBOL utility to do the same.
2) Find a product that can read the INDEXED file and export it into something you can use. I'm thinking of products like Cyberquery or Crystal Reports, etc. Or, after I saw that the FDD/RDD files were produced by Siber Systems, a quick search helped me find their "Cobol DataViewer" product; use that to output it to a "more common and usable format" ;-)
I could convert it using the Siber DataViewer, but, its full version is paid.
I need some command-line tool to create dds (dxt5 format) from two .png files -- one with rgb channels and one with alpha. It's because I have a waste amount of images to process -- I can't do it manually. It's no problem for me to create script for generating batch file to process all images one by one, but I need tool to create dds from two png-s.
Anyone known such command-line tool ?
Thanks.
P.S. nvDXT.exe is very good but it can't combine rgb and alpha from different files.
If you have Photoshop, you could always use Batch Script (see Batch Scripting Tutorial for an example) to merge the channels (with NVidea plug in installed, you could probably even do the DDS conversion too). Just a thought.
Googling for "ods c library" doesn't lead any useful results.
This is only in its experimental status yet, but the idea behind it is to replace the LibreOffice Calc filters by an external Library. The developer is the main LibreOffice Calc developer. The OpenOffice and LibreOffice Calc filter use all UNO and are dependent on the Calc core design.
you could try libxl although that is C++ (multi platform, but xls/xlsx)
Or a way to make IE view N3 same way he successfully views RDF files?
(A way to successfully install the N3 Editor plugin for Eclipse will be appreciated as well)
thanks ...
Sorry, I can only be limited help, but here's some pointers:
The command line tool rapper (part of http://librdf.org/raptor/) can turn Turtle files into NTriples, which is sometimes easier to read, but won't help if you want a GUI tool.
Tabulator can be used offline, with file: URIs http://www.w3.org/2005/ajar/tab, it's a Firefox plugin though, so it won't help you in IE.
TeX and LaTeX really confuse me. I know that there is no official distribution, and that it's a bit like Linux in that there are many packagers and distributions. A lot of the distributions that people suggest to me seem to have lost their maintainers (TeTex for example). There are also different options available within those distributions for converting to pdf and so on.
What is the current consensus, the state of the art, the done thing? Is there a consensus in the first place?
Which distribution should I use (on Mac, via ports if that matters)?
What workflow (commands, tools) should I use to convert latex to pdf?
Thanks.
On Mac, the only distribution that matters is TeX Live, more specifically their Mac version called MacTex.
This distribution is very active and state of the art.
For more questions about the differences and respective advantages of TeX engines and distributions, I suggest asking a question on tex.stackexchange.com.
What workflow (commands, tools) should I use to convert latex to pdf?
In the simplest case, it’s quite enough to invoke the processor (e.g. pdflatex, or better luatex or xelatex) directly. In more sophisticated cases (e.g. you’ve got a bibliography or an index, or are using cross-references), this would require multiple passes, and running other software in between. For these cases, there exist a host of built tools for LaTeX. The simplest is probably just to use latexmk which ships with TeX Live.
I know that there is no official distribution
Most folks would agree that http://www.tug.org/texlive/ is the official distribution.
Which distribution should I use (on Mac, via ports if that matters)?
That one.
What workflow (commands, tools) should I use to convert latex to pdf?
Click on the "typeset" button. Seriously. It's just that complex.
While I agree with TeXlive (MacTeX) as the "official" distro, I disagree with "just click typeset."
LaTeX is a very powerful tool and one that needs some time to learn its intricacies, including compiling. For that task I recommend the script latexmk-pdf filename.tex as it does most of the hard work. I also always recommend the LaTeX wikibook and the AMS short math guide for learning LaTeX and for quick reference.
On Windows, I feel MiKTeX is fairly standard and also free based on my own experience and other people's review. One of the nice features of MiKTeX that I like is that you can download and install missing packages on the fly, therefore making the cost of installing new package minimum and giving you the max flexibility of choosing whatever (officially) available packages that fit your doc need.
Below is a list of relevant latex links that I collected/copied from somewhere (maybe outdated now). Hope it helps:
