Interactive job submission in DOS
Interactive job submission in DOS
(OP)
Hi all,
When I run Abaqus command for "abaqus j=name of input file interactive", I do not get any details of analysis and I only can see the start and end of analysis.
Is there any way to see the details of analysis (like normal CAE) in terms of time increment, step number, and etc? This way I can track at which time step the analysis stopped/got error.
Cheers,

These files are clearly described at the very start of the CAE Users guide in the documentation:
Abaqus /CAE Users Guide -> Working with Abaqus/CAE model databases, models and files -> Understanding the files generated by creating and analyzing a model.
RE: Interactive job submission in DOS
abaqus job=whatever interactive
to get the .log file printed into the cmd window. For short runs this is useful to see if the job runs fine.

Abaqus creates several output files in your working directory when you submit an analysis. The log (.log), status (.sta), message (.msg) and data (.dat) files are the files that are shown in the GUI. When you submit a job interactively you print the .log file to the command window and you are stuck watching that update until the job completes. If you have to submit your job interactively you can open a new command window, navigate to your working directory and print the contents of the status (.sta) file using a command like "type jobname.sta". Alternatively, submit your job in the background (i.e. don't use the "interactive" command) and do everything in the one command window. Or, if you are working in a windows environment, navigate to the working directory in explorer and just open the status file using notepad...
Read the section of the documentation i pointed out in my previous post - you don't seem to understand Abaqus output or how to track progress.

Many thanks for prompt reply; I followed your suggestion but the issue is that when I want to access the 'jobname.sta' file in command window, it says "the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process". And when I open the file by Note++, it asks me to reload the file as the increment changes every time.
