Query about Running Abaqus job in remote HPC system

[Tinni1]

Hello,

I am trying to run Abaqus in a remote HPC system.

I have two jobs, job-1 and job-2.
job-1 is linear buckling analysis
First I ran job-1 in my HPC working directory and generated job1.odb (output) file.
Now, to run job-2, it needs input from job-1.odb file.In the job-2.inp (input file) this has been defined.
My query is: How I should run job-2 in my kay working directory?

job 2 is basically post-buckling analysis, which needs buckled mode shapes from job1 to add as imperfection.
If I follow the below procedure, will it be correct?1. Copy job-1.odb, job-2.inp and run_abaqus.pds (total 3 nos of file) in a folder in my kay working directory.2. Submit job-2.inp using sbatch command.
If the above procedure is not correct, could you please let me know, how I should run job-2.inp?

Many thanks,

If files from the first analysis are in the same folder as the input file for the second analysis then Abaqus should locate them automatically. Give it a try.
