Displaying exceptions for imported plug-ins at startup
By default, Abaqus/CAE does not display the exceptions associated with the import of plug-ins when you start the application. If you want to expose these exceptions for debugging purposes, set the environment variable ABQ_PLUGIN_DEBUG to 1 at a command prompt before launching Abaqus/CAE. When this environment variable is set, Abaqus/CAE provides more trackback information about plug-ins upon startup, including the location and nature of any failures that occur.
