How to run standard.exe without pre.exe 1

[cagrisever]

I experience network problems and sometimes when license is checked for standard.exe, vendor deamon cannot be contacted and the analysis exits.
For a big model it means 6-7 hours of job submition to be lost.
Do you know how to run only standard.exe without running pre.exe from the beginning? Once again the job submition is complete at this stage.
Thanks for your help.

You could run -Pre only by using the command line option;

abaqus j=xxxx datacheck

This parses the input file and creates the files needed for the analysis run. You can then run the analysis without running pre by typing;

abaqus j=xxxx continue

This should then run job xxxx. You have to have run Pre before this though for it to work.

You may be better tackling the root cause tho' - go and tap up some IT people about your network connection
