Workstation AMD Dual Opteron processor SUSE Linux 9.3 crash
(OP)
I have been running ABAQUS on a workstation. Operating system is SUSE Linux 9.3. The workstation is a dual processor AMD Opteron machine with 8GB memeory. I have been using ABAQUS on this machine for a couple of years without any problem. However recently my ABAQUS jobs have been ending due to a computer crash. The screen freezes and no files are saved.
The ABAQUS version is 6.6-1. Most of times the crash occurs when an ABAQUS job is running. But a couple of times it has occured when ABAQUS was not running. This is a Linux machine not supported by the IT group. Hard ware testing by software provided by IBM has not indicated any hardware error. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gurmeet

RE: Workstation AMD Dual Opteron processor SUSE Linux 9.3 crash
Therefore my advice is to check with ABAQUS Support and maybe install a newer version 6.6-x (where x>1 ).
Also from your post is not clear what part of ABAQUS may cause the crash. If it also occurred when ABAQUS was not running probably ABAQUS is not the main cause. You should consider if the OS or the hardware had been updated before the computer started to crash.

You can click around to also find tested configurations (SuSe9.3 *is* a tested config for V6.6-1...)
As Xerf says, it is likely unrelated to ABAQUS.
