Using Abaqus with the Windows Batch System
Submitting Jobs using an input (.inp) file
Open a command prompt, navigate to your working directory which contains your input file and type abqbatchmode
This translates your current directory into its corresponding UNC Path and opens a new command line window. From this new window you can now submit Abaqus jobs to the windows batch queue by using a commandline corresponding to the given example.
Notes:
- the parameter -job does not accept spaces
- you can limit the memory usage of your job by using the -memory parameter (e.g. -memory 5000MB)
After your job has been submitted you can view its state using the Microsoft HPC Jobmanager.which you can find in Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft HPC Pack -> HPC Job Manager
Submitting Abaqus Jobs with Fortran user subroutines
Because it is not possible to compile your subroutines within the batch environment, you have to do 2 additional steps before submitting your job according to the first section of this page.
1. Open a command prompt, navigate to your working directory which contains your input file and type abqbatchmode.
2. Pre-compile your subroutine as a shared library with the following commandline:
abaqus make -library "<yoursubfile.for>"
3. Create a file named "abaqus_v6.env" in your workingdirectory and fill in the following lines:
import os
usub_lib_dir=os.getcwd()
4. Submit your job with a commandline according to the example above, e.g.:
Notes:
- Please make sure that the above entrys in "abaqus_v6.env" don't have leading spaces or tabs
Submitting Abaqus Jobs for parametric studies (.psf)
Open Microsoft HPC Job Manager. In the Actions pane, select "New single-Task Job"
Fill out the wizard according to the following example.
Notes:
- replace "%username% with your account ID
- you have to specify a UNC Path to your workdirectory, since the windows scheduler is not aware of network drives by default. (H: -> \\cifs\cluster\home\%username% | W: -> \\cifs\cluster\work\%username%)
