Abaqus Job Skill

This skill creates, submits, and monitors Abaqus analysis jobs. Use it when the model is ready to run.

When to Use This Skill

Route here when user says:

  • "Run the analysis", "Submit the job", "Execute the model"
  • "Generate input file", "Create INP file"
  • "Run in parallel", "Check job status"

Route elsewhere:

  • Reading results after completion → /​abaqus-odb
  • Setting up the model → use other module skills

Prerequisites

Before job submission:

  1. Model is complete (geometry, material, mesh, BCs, loads, step)
  2. Model saved to .cae file
  3. No validation errors

Workflow: Running an Analysis

Step 1: Save the Model

Always save before creating a job. The .cae file must exist.

Step 2: Create the Job

Specify job name and model name. They can differ.

Step 3: Choose Submission Mode

User WantsAction
Run analysis and waitSubmit with waitForCompletion
Generate INP only (no run)writeInput
Run in backgroundSubmit without waiting
Run from command lineabaqus job=Name interactive

Step 4: Wait and Monitor

For interactive submission, monitor status until COMPLETED or ABORTED.

Step 5: Check Results

If COMPLETED, results are in .odb file. If ABORTED, check .msg file.

Key Decisions

Submit vs Write Input?

GoalMethod
Run analysis nowsubmit()
Only create INP filewriteInput()
Run later from CLIwriteInput, then abaqus job=Name

Parallel Processing

ScenarioSetting
Small model / Learning EditionnumCpus=1
Large model, multi-corenumCpus=N, numDomains=N
Single machinemp_mode=THREADS
Clustermp_mode=MPI

What to Ask User

If unclear, ask:

  • "Ready to run the analysis?"
  • "How many CPUs for parallel?"
  • "Just need the input file, or run the analysis?"

Output Files

ExtensionContent
.odbResults database (use /​abaqus-odb to read)
.datPrinted output (nodal values, summaries)
.msgSolver messages - check this if job fails
.staStatus file (increment progress)
.inpInput file (model definition)
.lckLock file (exists while job runs)

Troubleshooting

Status/​ErrorMeaningSolution
COMPLETEDSuccessProceed to /​abaqus-odb
ABORTEDFailedCheck .msg file for error
License not availableNo tokensWait or check license server
Memory errorModel too largeIncrease memory or coarsen mesh
.lck file existsStale lockDelete if job is not running

Validation Checklist

Before submitting:

  • Model saved (.cae exists)
  • Job name specified
  • Model name matches saved model
  • CPUs set appropriately
