Where can I get plug-ins?

Several plug-ins are provided with the Abaqus installation. You can view these plug-ins by selecting Plug-ins Abaqus or Tools from the main menu bar.

For information on how to view a document that describes the plug-in and its usage, see How can I get information about a plug-in?.

Additional plug-ins are available in the SIMULIA Community (SIMUILA Community > Learning Resources > 3DEXPERIENCE and Traditional Products > Abaqus > Plug-ins/Scripts), which provides example plug-ins as well as access to a community of users that fosters the advance of the Abaqus Scripting Interface and the Abaqus GUI Toolkit. Click Blog and filter by Process Automation to browse plug-in examples in this community. You can also write your own plug-ins, as described in the rest of this chapter.
