Querying the keyword/problem database

The abaqus findkeyword utility queries a keyword/problem database that contains information on Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit example problems, verification problems, problems used in training seminars, problems shown in the Abaqus technology briefs and benchmark timing problems. You specify which keywords, parameters, and values are of interest; and this utility will list the input files that contain those keywords, parameters, and values. You can specify multiple keywords, which causes the findkeyword utility to list those input files that contain all of the specified keywords. You can then use the abaqus fetch utility to fetch the input files (see Fetching sample input files). The output is grouped into problem sets; e.g., Abaqus Example Problems or Abaqus/Standard Technology Brief Problems.
