Accessing the C++ interface from an existing
application
This section provides information that may be helpful to users who need to access
results in an output database from an existing application.
Most users should find
that the abaqus make utility is sufficient for their postprocessing
needs. Since linking and executing with dynamically linked runtime libraries is highly system
dependent, the information in this section is intended for users who have an advanced working
knowledge of compilation and linking with runtime libraries.
It is important to ensure that
the compiler used to compile and link the existing application is consistent with the
compilers used to generate the Abaqus release. The “System Requirements” document lists the name and version of the compiler used
for the Abaqus release on each supported platform. You can access this document through the
System Information section of the Support page at
www.3ds.com/simulia. You can also find information on compiling and linking with the C++ interface to an output
database in the Dassault Systèmes Knowledge Base at http://support.3ds.com/knowledge-base/.
