Helpful Tips Before Getting StartedUse Exceed 9.0 or equivalent PC terminal software. HELP Online help manuals: abaqus_aae doc & - there is a book for CAE: ABAQUS/CAE User's Manual. Context sensitive help is also available within CAE. CAE creates the .inp file which you can edit and run by the command line, or you can submit jobs from within CAE. Other files are .cae (CAE model file), .odb, .dat, .log, .msg, and .sta. The .dat is the text output file that will contain results. The .odb file is the binary output file that will be read during post-processing to view graphical results. The .log file keeps a text record of all processes and is useful for checking the status of the analysis. The .msg lists the progress of the analysis, as well as provides some messages about why an analysis might have crashed (this information is often within the .dat file as well). The .sta file is a summary of the information contained in the .msg file, and is useful for monitoring the status of long-running jobs during their computation. MOUSE Use of the Mouse: button 1 (left) is select, button 2 (right) gives menu, button 3 (middle, if available is enter or done) multiple items can be selected by: dragging a window or holding the SHIFT key while picking items can be de-selected by holding the CTRL key.

ABAQUS/CAE: Getting Started, Create Part To run ABAQUS/CAE, first go to the directory you wish your files to be located, then type: abaqus_aae cae or /usr/site/aae/bin/abaqus_aae cae click Create Model Database In the Module dropdown box, select Part (this takes about 30 seconds for the program to initialize) Note the locations of: Tool Bar, Menu Bar, Toolbox Area, Prompt Area. These will be referred to repeatedly in the future. In the Toolbox Area, click Create Part button. The Create Part window will pop up. Enter in name, e.g., bracket Under Modeling Space, choose 2D Planar Base Feature, Shell Approximate size: 20 click Continue

Sketch Part contd.3. contd enter 1.0 for fillet radius in the Prompt Area, hit enter, then Mouse click on inner two lines when prompted. The Create Fillet button should still be highlighted. Click this again to get the screen shown below left. Click the Done button in the Prompt Area at the bottom of the screen. You now are returned to the Part Module screen. This should look like the screen below right. Note different tool buttons shown in the Toolbox Area.

Partition Edge Click the Partition Edge: Enter Parameter button. In order to get this button, you need to click and hold over the line partitioning tools button note the small dark triangle in the lower right corner indicates that this is an expanding button. You will be prompted to select an edge, select the far righthand edge of the bracket. Click Done. In the Prompt Area, enter in value of 0.25 for the Normalized edge parameter. Click the Create Partition button to finish. You will see a large dot onefourth of the way up the edge of the bracket. This partitioned edge will be used later for applying a uniform load.

Saving and Defining Material Properties Save your work: in the Menu Bar, click File, Save As. Under Selection, enter a name at the end of the path, e.g. bracket. Click OK. From now on, you can just click the blue floppy disk icon in the Tool Bar. Save often!!!

1.

Change Modules. In the Module drop-down box beneath the Tool Bar, select Property. Click Create Material Buttonenter a name, e.g. Aluminum, select Mechanical --> Elasticity --> Elastic enter 10e6 for Youngs Modulus, 0.3 for Poissons Ratio. click OK If you want to modify the material, click the Material Manager button to the right of Create Material, select the material by name and click Edit, or click Dismiss to leave without making any changes.

Assign Properties to Regions of Model2. Click Create Section Button enter a name, e.g., plate choose Solid and Homogeneous click Continue select the material Aluminum (or what ever you named it, there should be only one to choose from) in the drop down box enter Plane stress/strain thickness: 0.05. Click OK. you will be prompted to select a region. Click on the part. Click the Done button in the Prompt Area at the bottom of the screen. The Assign Section window will pop up. Select the Section Name you wish to assign to this region (there should be only one which youve previously named, e.g., plate) click OK.

Instance Part Change Modules. In the Module drop-down box beneath the Tool Bar, select the Assembly. note, the Canvas (main working graphical window) will be blank.

Click the Instance Part button. The Create Instance window will pop up. Select the part you wish to instance, e.g., the part we named bracket previously. A red outline of the bracket will show. Click OK.

Step Change Modules. Select the Step module. Click the Create Step button. Create Step window pops up enter a name use the default name Step-1. be sure Procedure type is set to General, and Static, General is highlighted in the list. Click Continue.

Edit Step window pops up, with the Basic tab active. enter in a Description, e.g., apply loading under Increment Size, enter value of 0.1 for Initial. Leave the rest the same. Full load corresponds to an Increment value of 1 (when Time Period is set to 1 under the Basic tab). Setting Initial to 0.1 forces ABAQUS to start the analysis by applying 1/10 of the full load. This can also be left to default 1 value and the software will auto-select. click OK.

Click the Incrementation tab.

Load Change Modules. Select the Load module. Click the Create Load button. the Create Load window pops up. enter a Name, e.g., Load-1 is the default name be sure Step-1 (or what name you have given it) is selected in the Step drop down box. be sure Mechanical is selected in Category under Type for selected step, choose Pressure click Continue Upon prompting to Select surfaces, mousepointer click on the lower portion of the right edge of the bracket, the region we partitioned previously. It will highlight red. click Done. in the Edit Load window that pops up, be sure to have Distribution set to Uniform, enter value of 1000 in Magnitude, and be sure that (Ramp) is selected under Amplitude. This is a 1000 psi traction. click OK. You should get the image shown to the right. If your arrows are in the wrong direction, you need to go back and be sure to specify a negative pressure.

What command do I use to run Abaqus?

Abaqus should be run using the following command:

This will run Abaqus on all cores specified in the hardware settings for the job. Note that is the filename of your .inp input file (.inp - without the extension).

You can also set the scratch directory by appending the command: scratch = path/to/file. For example:

Some common (optional) additional commands include: [gpus=number-of-gpgpus], [memory=memory-size], [output_precision={single | full}], [resultsformat={odb | sim | both}]. You can also SSH into your cluster and run abaqus -help to get the complete list of commands.

How do I execute a Global + Local Model with Abaqus?

To execute a global + local (2 stage) model job, you must upload both the global and local .inp files as input files. Run the global and local models using the general command illustrated below:

Global Model: abaqus job=<global> interactive

Local Model: abaqus job=<local> globalmodel=<global> interactive

For example, if your global and local model is named input_global.inp and input_local.inp respectively, and you need it run in parallel with full output precision and double precision, the command would be:

Rescale will run the commands sequentially, executing the global model followed by the local model.

Using the Dassault Systemes License Server (DSLS)

In order to use the Dassault Systemes License Server (DSLS) instead of a FlexLM license server, prepend the following before your command on the 'Software Settings' page:

Abaqus simulation with Fortran subroutine

An Abaqus user subroutine can be used to extend the functionality of several capabilities in Abaqus where the usual data input methods may be too restrictive. For example, user defined material properties that are generally not available on Abaqus, can be defined using subroutines. User subroutines are written as FORTRAN code during an analysis, Abaqus refers to this code to calculate and define the user specified properties or conditions. A subroutine must be compiled and attached to a model when you submit a job.

Further information on the interface and requirements for each user subroutine can be found in the Abaqus User Subroutines Reference Manual.

Note: Rescale platform has Abaqus linked with gfortran compilers only.

To run an Abaqus simulation with a FORTRAN subroutine, change the command to the following:

Abaqus User Manual 2016

Replace:

<input-file> with the Abaqus input file

<user-subroutine> with the name of the source or object file containing your subroutine.
