Running Rocky Linux 9.6 with XRDP with Gnome desktop . Recently had to rebuild one visualization node from scratch using a minimal ISO image ( 2GB ). Everything works great , i.e Ansys, Paraview etc. But Abaqus viewer looks like picture below.
The strange thing is it works fine on our second visualization node which is almost identical setup . I compared the installed fonts via “rpm -qa | grep -i font” and they are the same.. I am not sure if the other node was installed using minimal ISO or full DVD though.
The launch command is "abaqus viewer -mesa”.
Have you asked the makers of Abaqus? They should be able to provide you with a list of the required dependency to allow their application to work correctly.
Since the software is proprietary and made by Dassault Systemes and the fact we cannot download or use it if we don’t purchase it means it’s difficult for anyone to help out or even debug the problem. Ideally it would be best for you to ask the support team of Abaqus. There is even a Abaqus community apparently once logged into the 3DS system.

If you think the problem is a missing rpm on the system that isn’t working, dump a list of the installed rpms on each system to a text file and then use “sort file1 file2 | uniq -u” to show you a list of the rpms that exist on one of the computers and not on the other.

Thanks, I did reach out to our Abaqus support partner but haven’t heard anything back. Guess they don’t know much about the error. But good tip about the abaqus community page. Seems there is also a facebook group for Abaqus users:
If no luck there I will try with the 3DS community..
