Hi all friends:
I am an ABAQUS user and I have a question about LINUX ABAQUS.
Actually, when i finish all defining precedures in LINUX ABAQUS and submit the job, the job status will always remain "submitted" and never "running",which means that my job is not calculated. And after several hours later, the message area will show me that my PC have idled for 3hours and my licensed will be checked in several minutes and several minutes later, the status still remain the same, i mean "submitted".
Could you please tell me what the problem is and how to solve it?
Thank you for your assistance and time.

RE: About Linux ABAQUS
On Linux operating system, you should solve the problem from the terminal/command prompt. you should do the following
1.In job module click 'write input' instead of 'submit'
2 Then type the command in terminal window as
"abaqus job=<jobname>"
jobname is your input file name without .inp extension
3.Then system solves the problem and saves .odb file and associated .dat, .msg ...files.
4. Open the .odb file in abaqus and view the results.
5. If there are any errors, u can check them in .msg file
I hope this will helpful to u.

RE: About Linux ABAQUS
I deeply thank you for your assistance and I have successfully got the results and seen the stress contours.
However, i still have three questions to ask you if you do not mind answering:
1. Why Linux ABAQUS do not support "submit" button to get the job calculated? Is there any kind of reasons? If it does not support "submit" button, why the ABAQUS co. design this button for Linux ABAQUS?
2. I have successfully got the result with a very simple case, say block, in order to test your suggestion and i see your suggestion is correct. However, when i test with a more complicated model, when i run the job and open .odb file, then click on the button to see the stress contours, the warning window will pop out and tells me that there is no valid step data available on the database.If the analysis is running, the database must be closed and reopened once the results have been initialized.The requested operation has been cancelled?
Do you know what is the possible reason to cause this problems?
3. If i want to use the 64bit linux system, how much RAM could i install? 6G or 8G? I really feel lack of RAM because my model is pretty complicated and that is also the reason why i switch from windows system to linux system.

2. Are you sure that this model runs on any system?
3. The ram limit is more of a motherboard limit than an OS limit if you have 64bit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit
Hope this helps
