How do I run Abaqus?
There are several ways to run jobs. Most will find the following useful for checking syntax,etc..:

-bash-3.2$ module load abaqus

-bash-3.2$ srun ... abq682.exe job=mydesign datacheck interactive input=./design.inp

To actually run the code, remove the option datacheck and interactive.

This will run your abaqus input file called design.inp as a serial job and if successful will create about 14 files in the directory you are working in. One such file is the .odb Abaqus database file. All the files are created with the job name "mydesign" and differ in the filename extensions and type of file.

Note, normally there are several versions of Abaqus available. Therefore one needs to note which one reflects what was set up with Modules. For example, the command abq682.exe is version specific.

How do I run a parallel Abaqus job?
