Abaqus Submission From the Command Line

Abaqus command line example for launching and managing simulation jobs on Windows.

When you receive an input file from a third party or need to run your Abaqus job on a cluster, you can launch the input file in batch mode using the command line (Windows) or shell (Linux). Here’s how to get started: 

Start a Batch Job 

Use the following command to start a batch job: 

abaqus job=inputfile 

For interactive logging, use: 

abaqus job=inputfile interactive 

Run on Multiple Cores or GPU Acceleration 

To run your job on multiple cores or use GPU acceleration, specify the number of CPUs and GPUs as follows: 

abaqus job=inputfile cpus=2 gpus=1 

Pause and Resume Simulations 

If you need to free up license tokens for another job or pause for any other reason, you can suspend and resume your simulation: 

abaqus job=inputfile suspend (Pauses the simulation) abaqus job=inputfile resume 

(Resumes the simulation) 

This is useful for managing resources effectively across multiple simulations. 

For further details, refer to the official Abaqus online documentation.
