Abaqus crashing when I try to write an input file

Abaqus crashing when I try to write an input file

Abaqus crashing when I try to write an input file

(OP)
I am attempting to write an input file but every time I do Abaqus just acts like it is doing something (green bar on bottom right goes back and forth) until it eventually stops responding(the first time I let it run for 45 mins before it crashed). I checked the working directory and scratch folder and nothing is being written there in that time.

Here is what I'm trying to do:

I had an old input file for an analysis I wanted to run; however, some of the parts were missing and the loads have changed slightly. So, I imported the model using the old input file and added the extra parts and adjusted the loads, added contact, assigned material props, etc. Then I attempted to write out a new input deck and ran into the above issue.

Just to check, I also imported the old FE model(from the old input file) and then immediately wrote it to a new input file without making any changes. The same exact thing happened.

Has anyone ran into this issue before? Is what I'm trying to do even possible? Any suggestions would be really helpful since I am completely stuck. Thanks.

RE: Abaqus crashing when I try to write an input file

Hallo Joshszman09,

i had this problem when i have dealt with 6.12 and 6.13, some feature are optimized in new version so becareful of your old written input file, i advise to work with the same version, secondly delete all other file when you run the input file, some time you may get such files like (.lck)

Good luck
