I would like to model 3D Berkovic indenter in ABAQUS. Could you please any one know how to initiate this indenter modelling in abaqus without depending any other tool.
You need to build a tetrahedron. First base was built right equilateral triangle. Down is bisected. Where the cross was built perpendicular to the plane of the triangle as the height of the pyramid of Berkovich. To each side of the main triangle and end height was built three planes been drawn specified angle. Look at this clip:

If you fail me write you send him a CAD model. Just tell me what format you want it (STL, IGS DVG, STEP, etc.)
