Abaqus Command to Run Job at Specific Time & Date
Abaqus Command to Run Job at Specific Time & Date
(OP)
Hi everyone.
I have an explicit job that is running right now on my machine which I estimate will finish running in about 33 hours. I would like to submit a command to my machine to run a variant of the same explicit job a couple of hours after that. But, weekend is approaching...
In my previous company we used a UNIX machine and Abaqus jobs run on the server. If I wanted a job to start running on a certain date when I would be away I had to key in (for example)
Now I have Abaqus running on my Windows machine. Does anyone know if the same command lines will do the same thing in Windows? If the above were incorrect could you tell me the right command lines?
Thanks in advance,
Jo
P.S. I already have a Python file to queue jobs. Because of license sharing with another engineer I decided not to queue my jobs that way.

As workaround I would create a simple python script with a loop where it reads the .log of the running job and executes a new job if the old one is finished. If the old job is still running, the script sleeps for a specific time.

Thank you!! Have a great weekend!
RE: Abaqus Command to Run Job at Specific Time & Date
call abaqus job=jobName1
FOR /l %%A IN (1,1,120) DO (
ping -n 60 127.0.0.1 > nul
)
call abaqus job=jobName2
Save the code as something like pause.bat in your working directory and run it from the Abaqus command line.
