Abaqus Jobs and Custom Jobs

Abaqus Study allows you to create and run Abaqus and/or custom jobs, depending on your role.

This page discusses:

Abaqus Jobs

Abaqus jobs are available only if you have been assigned the Structural Mechanics Analyst (SXA) role.

On the cloud only: To run Abaqus jobs on the cloud, the user must also be assigned the SIMULIA Simulation Results Analyst (SCS) role.

Abaqus Study guides you through creating an Abaqus job that runs an Abaqus application, such as Abaqus/Standard. The user interface follows a logical sequence, and a preconfigured simulation template allows you to select the Abaqus input files, configure the Abaqus job options, select the compute environment, and choose which files to save from the analysis. Abaqus Study also provides tools to run the Abaqus job and to monitor the output.

Custom Jobs

Custom jobs are available only if you have been assigned the Multi-Disciplinary Optimization Engineer (MDO) role.

Abaqus Study can also guide you through creating a custom job to run a third-party application or an in-house script. However, in contrast to an Abaqus job, your methods developer must provide the simulation template that is used to set up the job creation user interface. For example, the simulation template must define the input files that are read by the application, the application's command-line options, and the output files that are generated by the application.
