You use the ABAQUS environment file (abaqus_v6.env) to specify parameters that control ABAQUS/Standard and ABAQUS/Explicit. In addition, you can use the environment file to specify a set of commands that are executed when you start an ABAQUS/CAE session. Examples of commands that configure how you want a job to run on a remote host computer are given in “Submitting a job remotely,” Section 18.2.7.
