18.2.4 The job editor

You use the job editor to customize the settings for a new job or to edit the settings for an existing job. You can display the job editor by selecting JobCreate or JobEditjob name from the main menu bar. (You can also click Create or Edit in the job manager.)

The job editor contains the following tabbed pages:

Submission

Use the Submission tabbed page to configure the submission attributes of your job, such as job type, run mode, and submit time. You can also use the submission tabbed page to specify that the job is to be submitted to remote queues that have been configured by your local ABAQUS environment file or by your system administrator.

General

Use the General tabbed page to configure job settings such as the analysis input file processor printout and the name of the directory used for scratch files.

Preprocessor printout options are not available for a job associated with an input file; you must specify these options in the input file itself.

Memory

Use the Memory tabbed page to configure the amount of memory allocated to an ABAQUS analysis.

Parallelization

Use the Parallelization tabbed page to configure the parallel execution of an ABAQUS analysis job, such as the number of processors to use and the parallelization method.

Precision

Use the Precision tabbed page to specify either single or double precision for ABAQUS/Explicit analyses. You can also choose the precision of nodal output that is written to the output database during the analysis.
