How to run an Abaqus Job with Command Prompt

Problem

This article goes over the steps to run an Abaqus job from the Command Prompt. As long as a job is already set up and saved, it can be run from the command prompt without opening Abaqus CAE. 

Solution

  1. Open the Command Prompt by typing "CMD" into a Windows Search and hitting Enter
  2. step into the folder where the job is located with the command:
    cd <filepath>

Open folder with cd <filepath>

  1. Next, type in: abaqus j=<jobname> cpus=<number of cpus>

Type abaqus j=<jobname> cpus=<number of cpus>

  1. If the job already exists, overwrite it by typing "y"
  2. The job will now run and will be finished when there is no lock file in the working directory

Note: In the same folder, there will be a log file named <jobname>.log, which can be opened with Notepad to see how many licenses were checked out and how many remain available.
