You can exit the ABAQUS/CAE session at any time by selecting FileExit from the main menu bar. If you made any changes to the current model database, ABAQUS/CAE asks if you want to save the changes before exiting the session. ABAQUS/CAE then closes the current model or output database and all windows and exits the session.

ABAQUS/CAE saves many of your display settings; for example, the size of the main window and the size and location of dialog boxes. For more information, see “Saving your ABAQUS/CAE GUI settings,” Section 3.6. In addition, ABAQUS/CAE automatically creates a file called abaqus.rpy that records your operations during the session; you can use this file to reproduce your operations. For more information on reproducing operations and on recovering interrupted sessions, see “Recreating an unsaved model database,” Section 9.5.3.
