Hi drkc01, I was having the same problem here. In my case, the problem occur because the directory where the file is save presented some characters that abaqus can't recognize, such as " ´ ~ -
Try to see if the path of your folder where your file is save present one of this characters. You can do a test: Copy you file to a new folder in desktop, do not use any character that abaqus can't reconigze to name the folder. Then run your analysis and see if it works.
I hope you can solve your problem with this tip.
