After logging into the cluster copy the sample code.
You can then feel free to edit the job file using the editor of your choice. I chose nano by typing "nano abaqus_ser.job"
This is what my final jobfile looks like.
I then submit the job to the cluster using qsub.
I wait for the job to complete and check my results.
Abaqus Serial Batch Job
Copy the Sample Code
$ cp -rv /share/apps/samples/abaqus-serial ./ Or Create your own abaqus_ser.job
Your job file should look similar to the following
#!/bin/bash
#PBS -N run_abaqus_demo
#PBS -l nodes=1
#PBS -l walltime=00:60:00
#PBS -V
#PBS -m abe
#PBS -M joeminer@mst.edu
#PBS -q @nic-cluster.mst.edu
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# change to working directory
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
# Set Analysis input files
#(only the file name without file extension),
# e.g. for abaqus_demo.inp
input=abaqus_demo
# -- start abaqus
abaqus job=$input analysis cpus=1 interactive
Create Abaqus input files
Put Abaqus data and input files in the directory with the job file. If you copied the sample the sample input and data files are already there.
Launch the Abaqus Parallel Job
$ qsub abaqus_ser.job
View your results
The command line output of the abaqus parallel run will be in run_abaqus_demo.o######
