Can we know expected run time of a job?

In abaqus, can we know the expected run time of a given job?

it's at the end of the .dat file in the results monitor. the term you are searching for is wallclock time, if i'm not mistaken.

Hi loki3000
Thanks for your reply..
in dat file the time shows is the time taken for the analysis.
I want to know the expected run time in advance before submitting job

If you think about it carefully, you'll realize there is no way to tell. However, there are some thumb rules like, say, fewer the degrees of freedom or nonlinearities, the less time it'd take to converge to a solution.

Yes we can only predict by our previous experience.
So i think there is no direct method to know the run time of a job before submitting the job.

Hi
About your question, I can say that when your Operation System(OS) is Windows you are not able to apply daily time or expected run time, but when OS is Linux you can do it.
In the Job section you can see Submit Time box at the end of section for this purpose that is active only for Linux. You can also apply this feature in the Python code in the waitHours=...., waitMinutes=....
