You need to recognize these kind of errors from license related ones. These kind of errors appear in the black screen after a license successful message and prevent Abaqus/CAE to pull up.

The main reason for this kind of errors is the “Hardware Acceleration” capability of graphic cards which sometimes has conflict with Abaqus. The easiest way to solve it is to turn it off in abaqus_v6.env or graphicsConfig.env

To do so find the .env file in your system and replace

hardwareAcceleration = session.defaultGraphicsOptions.hardwareAcceleration

by

hardwareAcceleration = OFF

These env files are usually located at some where like:

C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.12-3\SMA\site\abaqus_v6.env

or in Abaqus 2016 at:

C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\SimulationServices\V6R2016x\win_b64\SMA\site
