The Submission tabbed page in the job editor allows you to choose between the following job types:
Full analysis
Generate (or regenerate) the input file (if the job is associated with a model), perform a complete analysis of your model, and write the results to the output database. This option is the default.
Data check
Check that the model is consistent and complete by running the input file through the analysis input file processor. This option generates (or regenerates) the input file for the job if the job is associated with a model. To check the outcome, review the data (.dat) file in your working directory.
Continue analysis
When ABAQUS performs a data check analysis, it creates and saves all the files necessary to continue the analysis. You can then submit the job with the Continue analysis option selected to complete the analysis.
Recover (Explicit)
This option is available only when you are running ABAQUS/Explicit. Submit a job with this option selected to complete your analysis after ABAQUS/Explicit stopped unexpectedly; for example, after filling a disk or after a network problem. “Recovering an ABAQUS/Standard analysis,” Section 18.4.9, describes how you can use the restart capabilities of ABAQUS/Standard to continue an analysis that terminated prematurely.
Restart
Submit a job that is a continuation of a previous analysis of this model. When you create a job that refers to a model with restart data attributes, ABAQUS/CAE selects the job type to be Restart.
You cannot create a restart job for a job that was associated with an input file.
For detailed instructions on choosing a job type, see “Choosing the job type,” Section 18.6.3.
