The Abaqus/CAE HTML online documentation is available through the Help menu on the main menu bar. This section provides a brief description of the HTML online documentation and explains how to use the Help menu to find information. For additional information, refer to the online manual Using Abaqus Online Documentation.
The features described in this section apply only to the HTML documentation, not the PDF-format manuals.
On Windows platforms, the help system uses your default web browser to display the online documentation.
On UNIX and Linux platforms, the help system searches the system path for Firefox. If the help system cannot find Firefox, an error is displayed.
The browser_type and browser_path variables can be set in the environment file to modify this behavior. For more information, see “System customization parameters,” Section 4.1.4 of the Abaqus Installation and Licensing Guide.
