scipy for ABAQUS on 64 bit Windows system

I have a Python script, which is used in ABAQUS and calls numpy and scipy. I switched from a 32-bit Windows machine to a 64-bit machine. I have problems installing scipy for ABAQUS 6.13.1 on my new 64-bit system. Could anybody give me some tips on how to get scipy running for ABAQUS and provide me with the compatible version of scipy?

Regards.

Download and Install a 64 bit version of Anaconda. https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/

Using Conda, downgrade the version of SciPy to be compatible with the Abaqus version of NumPy. In Abaqus/CAE python shell, check version of NumPy:

import numpy
numpy.version.version

In a windows command window type:

conda install scipy numpy=1.6

Copy the scipy directory from the Anaconda site-packages directory into the Abaqus. e.g.

From:

C:\Anaconda\Lib\site-packages\scipy

To:

C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.14-1\tools\SMApy\python2.7\Lib\site-packages\scipy

Maybe not all SciPy functions will work (I think a pip install will correctly link all dependencies but I have not tried this method) but the SciPy spline curve fitting functions certainly worked well!

You can know which version of Python runs on your Abaqus by running the following in your command prompt in the bottom panel of Abaqus:

>>> import sys
>>> print(sys.version)

Installing the corresponding version of Python and SciPy in the Abaqus folder will help

Try installing the compiled 64 bit version hosted here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
