Changes to Abaqus affecting Python

Date: 
Tuesday, December 12, 2017 - 10:15am

Abaqus ships with its own installation of Python which is incompatible with the system Python.  Changes were made to the abaqus module on Oakley putting the Abaqus version of Python in the user's path.  This may cause problems if the user runs non-Abaqus Python programs with the abaqus module loaded.  Oakley only.
