.dat error

[oriol]

Hi!

I'm trying to perform a simulation with a quite, lets call it, big model.
The fact is that while performing the pre processing the simulation fails and I get a message in the .dat file that says:

***ERROR: THE FILE SIZE EXCEEDS THE 16 GB LIMIT ON UNIT 10

Does any one know what can be the reason?

Perhaps I should write some command in the .env file for pre processing memory?

Thanks!!

Sorry, never seen this problem before Oriol, there is nothing in the manual on "Unit 10" are you running abaqus on a standalone machine or network?

At a guess I would think unit 10 is in the fortran description for the write statement within the Abaqus code. See

http://docs.cray.com/books/S-3695-35/html-S-3695-35/pdollsmg.html

If you don't have 16 GB then changing the .env file won't help. Perhaps you can change the solver to an iterative kind that doesn't use as much memory?

Thanks Jlog50 and corus.

In fact I'm running it remotely. The computer node were I'm trying to submit the job has 32Gb of memory. That is why I though could be related with some setting in the .env file.

Perhaps all files together during pre-processing exceeds 32Gb and the unit10 'file' is the one that can't be written because there isn't more memory available.

Thanks!
