How to limit memory in preprocessing using Abaqus CAE noGui= with Abaqus/Explicit?

How to limit memory in preprocessing using Abaqus CAE noGui= with Abaqus/Explicit?

(OP)
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to run an Abaqus Explicit simulation on a cluster via bash. Regardless on how much memory I allocate (I tried up to 60 gb), it's not enough and I get the error message:

Quote:

TERM_MEMLIMIT: job killed after reaching LSF memory usage limit.
Exited with exit code 1.

The error appears during the preprocessing after the STABLE TIME INCREMENT INFORMATION is created in the *.sta-file, before the actual calculations even start. On my laptop (16 gb ram), the code runs without any problems.

As I'm running a Python script with CAE internal functions, I can't use the memory="XX gb" command. Also, the memory=XXX, memoryUnits=MEGA_BYTES command when creating the job doesn't seem to have any effect.

Thanks very much!
