Abaqus parametric study on multiple CPU cores

Abaqus parametric study on multiple CPU cores

Abaqus parametric study on multiple CPU cores

(OP)
Hi,
I have a parametric study which is launched by .psf file. The problem is, I want it to run on all cores of my CPU. When i submit "classic" job via cmd, i just append "CPUs=8" and it works. But when I use command "abaqus script=xxx.psf", it does not have CPUs option.

I think, the key command which sets up job for analysis is .execute command, but it also has no option for number of CPUs. I could maybe generate and submit jobs in cycle by myself, but i can't load abaqus modules in .psf file (using abaqus script=xxx.psf).

Is there any way to run every job of parametric study on all cores of my CPU? Thank you very much in advance.

RE: Abaqus parametric study on multiple CPU cores

The documentation quite clearly tells you how to add execution options via the .execute command, I doubt this is new in recent version(s)....

Abaqus 2016 Analysis User's Guide - 20.2.4 - aStudy.execute():

Quote (Abaqus Documentation)

execOptions
Set execOptions equal to a character string of Abaqus execution options...

So, this would look like: aStudy.execute(token, execOptions='cpus=X')

Thank you! Meanwhile, I've figured that out and I was ashamed how could I miss that. I didn't know I can place more options between one pair of quotation marks (I was using user subroutine in here).
