I ran a test case I have from my old days and it gave me the files it 
is supposed to produce.
Of course, to really test the results I need access to CAE. It is 
included and we have 2 or three tokens
(licenses) but it runs on a windows server. Now we have to figure out 
how to make it
available?

Good job. Yes Abaqus is a pretty intensive application. I am told it 
is to be used for
research and classes. Amit is another potential user.
