What it does
`Abaqus Codex Assistant` is a project for Abaqus beginners: it checks the local environment first, then builds a model in clear traceable steps, solves it, reads ODB results and writes a Chinese report. Five models are implemented from simple to complex: rectangular plate tension, a plate with a central hole, a cantilever beam under uniform load, biaxial tension of a square plate and its follow-ups, plus an experimental UMAT material. The `abaqus-modeling-guide` skill runs the dialog: it performs the health check, asks one parameter group at a time, saves settings in `configs/user_models/`, runs an offline validation and starts Abaqus only after explicit confirmation. Teaching experiments are included: `subroutine-lab` exports `.inp` and Fortran files for DISP, DFLUX, FILM and others.
Who it is for. Students and engineers who start Abaqus analysis and want an agent in Codex to guide it with every step checked.
Good fit when
- A first Abaqus model is built step by step with an environment and version check
- ODB results are read and turned into a Chinese report
- `abqpy` is installed and verified for the exact year of the installed Abaqus
- Teaching subroutines are exported to study `.inp` and Fortran files
Not a fit when
- You have no licensed Abaqus, since the project does not ship it or bypass the license
- You need a system other than Windows, since only Windows 10 and 11 are supported
- You need Abaqus 2026, since the automatic flow for that version is disabled
Example request
Use abaqus-modeling-guide: run the environment check and guide me step by step to build and solve tension of a plate with a hole.Limitations
It needs Windows 10 or 11 and a licensed Abaqus of a known version. The automatic flow covers Abaqus 2021 to 2025 with `abqpy` of exactly the same year and is disabled for 2026. The seven teaching subroutines are checked only offline, not on real Abaqus and a Fortran compiler, so results need comparison with theory. The moving-load example needs Visual Studio and Intel Fortran Classic. Codex mode uses your own Codex login, and the project ships no shared API keys. The description and interface are in Chinese.
How to disable. Remove the app through Windows or `installer\uninstall.ps1`, and the `abaqus-modeling-guide` skill from the Codex directory. Configs and reports in `configs/user_models/` are removed separately.
FAQ
How do I install only the skill?
In Codex call `$skill-installer` and point it at the `skills/abaqus-modeling-guide` directory of the repository. The skill gives the guided dialog but does not install the desktop app and Python environment.
How is the full app installed?
Download `AbaqusCodexAssistant-Setup-<version>-x64.exe` from the releases and run it: Python is bundled and no separate install is needed. Abaqus and Codex are prepared separately.
Which modes exist?
A local base mode with no Codex, a local AI mode through Ollama or LM Studio on your machine and a Codex smart mode that uses your own account's usage.
Does it distribute Abaqus?
No, the project neither distributes Abaqus nor bypasses the license: a legitimate install and a working license are required.
What does `subroutine-lab` do?
`abaqus-codex subroutine-lab --model disp_ramp --output <folder>` exports checkable `.inp` and Fortran files and notes. Abaqus is not run and directories are not overwritten.
