Abaqus

Abaqus is used for both the modeling and analysis of mechanical components and assemblies (pre-processing) and visualizing the finite element analysis result. It has both a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and a command line interface.

Below is a sample submit script for the command line application.

#!/bin/bash

#SBATCH --output=/work/abc123/abaqus.out   #name of your output file
#SBATCH --job-name=test  #name of your job
#SBATCH --ntasks=1       #how many CPU tasks you will be using. Multiple threads can be used
#SBATCH --time=10:00     #this is optional but might be required
#SBATCH --partition=defq #this is the default queue
