[Geoqus] question about Abaqus on linux

[Laurent Montesi]

Hi from Massachusetts,
We are running abaqus on a couple of linux Red Hat 9 stations. It seems 
to work fine, although we did not test compatibility with external 
compilers. We also had good success with Windows XP. We are right now 
trying to configure version 6.5 to run in parallel on a linux cluster, 
but we're not really successful at this point. Any advice on that would 
be welcome!
Thanks
Laurent Montesi
