Running the analysis

Make any necessary corrections to your model. When the data check analysis completes with no error messages, run the analysis itself. To do this, click mouse button 3 on the job named Frame and select Continue from the menu that appears.

Note:

Performing a data check analysis results in the creation of job files. When you submit a job for analysis and files of the same name already exist, Abaqus/CAE displays a dialog box asking if it is OK to overwrite the job files. Click OK to continue.

You should always perform a data check analysis before running a simulation to ensure that the model has been defined correctly and to check that there is enough disk space and memory available to complete the analysis. However, it is possible to combine the data check and analysis phases of the simulation by clicking mouse button 3 on the job name in the Jobs container and selecting Submit from the menu that appears.

If a simulation is expected to take a substantial amount of time, it may be convenient to run it in a batch queue by selecting Queue as the Run Mode in the Edit Job dialog box. (The availability of such a queue depends on the queue definition settings in your Abaqus environment file. If you have any questions, refer to Defining analysis batch queues or ask your system administrator about defining analysis batch queues on your system.)
