Input file problems

[Pleth]

I am unable to run my .inp file through either abaqus command or through viewer. When i try to do it through abaqus i get that "abaqus" is an unrecognized command and when i try through viewer to run the script, it brings up that * is invalid syntax

Viewer is for viewing the odb results file, surely?

Pleth probably meant CAE.

Try running it with a command similar to abq671 changing the number for your version number. The command 'abaqus' is suppose to be mapped to the latest version but that might be broken on your computer. I usually go straight to tech support for this sort of question because it really is more a software usability issue instead of an FEA question. I hope this helps.
