Software Applications
Grinder supports a multitude of software applications. Most of them are very simple to invoke in the UNIX environment. The purpose of this section is to allow the user to quickly find the basics for all software applications installed on grinder.Some of the available applications on Grinder can make use of both a text-based terminal emulator and the X-Windows environment. Currently, URI does not provide an X-Windows emulation program for either the Windows or Macintosh platforms. Commercially available X-Windows emulators may be compatible with the Grinder based applications, but no compatibility testing has been performed by URI.
Abaqus
Abaqus only runs in the C shell and requires that you have a file in your home directory named .cshrc that contains the following line:
source/usr/local/bin/.arcinit
If you do not have a .cshrc file, you can create one by using the supported editors, or copy one from the system by using the following command:
copy /usr/local/bin/.cshrc ~/.cshrc
Enter the C shell anytime by typing csh at the Korn shell prompt $. The C shell prompt is %.
To invoke Abaqus, type abaqus at the % prompt. After quitting from Abaqus, you should type exit at the % prompt to get back to the Korn shell prompt.
ARC/INFO
ARC/INFO version 8.1 is available on Grinder.
To invoke ARC/INFO, type arcinfo arc at the Korn shell prompt $. To end an ARC/INFO session, type quit at the Arc: prompt. This will return you to the Korn shell prompt $.
Other details about ARC/INFO are available in Handout #73, "ARC/INFO on Grinder".
