Hi,

A colleague has been using ABAQUS fine for ages, using /CAE and the command window to run edited .inp's.

Recently, without warning, when she tries to run a job in the command window the following error message is reported:

'abaqus' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

ABAQUS has since been uninstalled, reinstalled but still the problem persists.  All along CAE seems to be working OK.

Any ideas, this is a really troubling problem!

Thanks,

Charles Breen

RE: comand not recognised

Perhaps you're using the wrong command. Try using the submit option in the job module.

"'abaqus' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

This is a standard DOS error message, given when anything that DOS doesn't recognise is entered on a DOS prompt window.

Since you appear to be running DOS commands then enter the full path name as follows:-


c:\abaqus\6.4-1\exec\abq641.exe job=filename


which of course varies according to version number, location and input file name.

Thanks guys,

As it turns out the abaqus path variable seemed to have been deleted from the windows environment, and by adding it manually it seems to be OK now.
