# Running Abaqus with AceGen

I am an AceGen/AceFEM user, but I think codes generated with AceGen could be more useful if people accustomed to Abaqus could also use them. The AceGen help claims that generation of Abaqus codes is possible. I have generated the simplest possible case (linear elasticity) to check, whether it will run in my case. The problem is that the generated code contains statement: include 'sms.h', and I don't have any idea where such a file can be found? Any suggestions?

• I have no experience with using Abaqus with AceGen generated subroutines, but you can find sms.h file (one of them) in AceGen installation directory: FileNameJoin[{$UserBaseDirectory, "Applications", "AceGen", "Include", "ABAQUS", "sms.h"}].

One example is: FileNameJoin[{$UserBaseDirectory, "Applications", "AceGen","Include","ABAQUS"}]


This procedure is also documented in tutorial FEAP - ELFEN - ABAQUS - ANSYS.nb.
