53.6.1 Where are plug-in files stored?
When you start ABAQUS/CAE, it searches for plug-in files in the following directories and all their subdirectories:
abaqus_dir\cae\abaqus_plugins where abaqus_dir is the ABAQUS parent directory.
home_dir\abaqus_plugins where home_dir is your home directory.
current_dir\abaqus_plugins where current_dir is the current directory.
ABAQUS/CAE will import any files in these directories that match the naming convention
*_plugin.py. These files must contain registration commands. The name of the file must follow the rules described in
“Standard ABAQUS Scripting Interface exceptions,” Section 5.5.2 of the ABAQUS Scripting User's Manual.
