Schedule jobs on windows machine
Schedule jobs on windows machine
(OP)
Hi
Could anyone tell me how I can schedule jobs to run locally on windows machines?
I've an 8 core windows machine and I would like to run one job at a time on all 8 cores. Once the job is completed, I would like to automatically load the next job and run it again on 8 cores.
Could anyone help?
Regards,
eugenec

CODE --> ABAQUS_Command
If there are no subroutines, you can avoid the subroutine argument. Since in all probability you are using a typical Intel PC, for the cpus to run at 100% capacity, you'll need to disable the hyperthreading option in the BIOS menu of your PC. Once you disable it, you'll be left with 4 cpus, so change the argument accordingly. Google for more on hyperthreading.

You do not need to type all of that in the command prompt. Simply open your notepad, enter the code above and save it as a batch (.bat) file. Double-click the batch file.

Thank you for your reply. I'll try out the code and report back here soon.

I could get the job to run when I manually typed into the abaqus command window. However, I cant get it to run using the batch file method.
In the batch file method, the analysis starts and then exits with an error.
Does anyone know what is happening?

I've managed to solve the problem. I had to key %% instead of %.
Thank you again for your help.
