The ABAQUS/CAE online documentation is available through the Help menu on the main menu bar. This section provides a brief description of the online documentation and explains how to use the Help menu to find information. (For additional information, refer to the online manual Using ABAQUS Online Documentation.)
On Windows platforms, the help system uses your default web browser to display the online documentation.
On UNIX and Linux platforms, the help system searches the system path first for Mozilla (including Firefox) and uses that web browser if it is available. If Mozilla is not found, the help system checks the system path for Netscape and uses that web browser if it is available. If neither browser is found in the system path, an error is displayed.
The browser_type and browser_path variables can be set in the environment file to modify this behavior. For more information, see “System customization parameters,” Section 4.1.4 of the ABAQUS Installation and Licensing Guide.
