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

RE: Schedule jobs on windows machine

In the command prompt window, type:

CODE --> ABAQUS_Command

(
abaqus job=myINP1 subroutine=myFortranCode.for cpus=8 memory=90% interactive
abaqus job=myINP2 subroutine=myFortranCode.for cpus=8 memory=90% interactive
abaqus job=myINP3 subroutine=myFortranCode.for cpus=8 memory=90% interactive
) 

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.

Hi IceBreakerSours

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?

Hi Sours

I've managed to solve the problem. I had to key %% instead of %.

Thank you again for your help.
