Make any necessary corrections to your input file. When the datacheck analysis completes with no error messages, run the analysis itself by using the command
abaqus job=frame continue interactiveMessages like those below will appear on the screen:
ABAQUS JOB frame Begin ABAQUS/Standard Analysis 11/11/2004 11:37:40 AM Run standard.exe ABAQUS License Manager checked out the following licenses: ABAQUS/Foundation checked out 3 tokens. 11/11/2004 11:37:42 AM End ABAQUS/Standard Analysis ABAQUS JOB frame COMPLETED
You should always perform a datacheck analysis before running a simulation to ensure that the input data are correct and to check that there is enough disk space and memory available to complete the analysis. However, it is possible to combine the datacheck and analysis phases of the simulation by using the command
abaqus job=frame interactive
If a simulation is expected to take a substantial amount of time, it is convenient to run it in the background by omitting the interactive parameter:
abaqus job=frame
(The above commands apply for the standard ABAQUS installation on a workstation. However, ABAQUS jobs may be run in batch queues on some computers. If you have any questions, ask your systems administrator how to run ABAQUS on your system.)
