Description: Abaqus can record your actions in the user interface into a file named abaqus.guiLog, which enables you to create a record of your actions in the GUI and can help you capture and replay common activities in Abaqus/CAE or Abaqus/Viewer for demonstration or training purposes. You can also run .guiLog files from the Abaqus Python Development Environment (PDE).

When you launch Abaqus/CAE or Abaqus/Viewer from the command line, you can now enable this recording for your session by using the new command line option guiRecord. The recording of user interface actions is also enabled by default when the ABQ_CAE_GUIRECORD environment variable is set on your system; you can override this setting and disable recording by using the new command line option guiNoRecord.
