job submitted without progress

[irishcanadian]

Hello all,
I am relatively new to Abaqus, so please excuse me if this is a simplistic question. I have submitted jobs in the past on more complex models that began to run almost immediately once they were submitted, but were taking too long and therefore were killed. I am trying to now run a more simplistic model but the job remains as being submitted and does not begin to run. Any suggestions? There is no one else using the license at this time. I have tried exiting and restarting Abaqus and re-running the model without success. I have also tried deleting the job and creating a new job under a different name. Still, nothing seems to be working.

If you had a previous job that had been killed, then the lck file will still be there which will prevent you running more jobs under that name. Delete it.

Hi Corus,
Yes but it should run a job if I have re-named it though no? Or is it that the old job is preventing the new one from running

There may be a stray process left over from the job(s) that were killed. You can either go through the running processes (Python.exe and standard.exe seem to be usual culprits when this happens) and try to kill them or just restart your computer. That always works for me.

Just because no one else is using the licenses does not mean that they are available. Confirm the license status and use the lmremove command if necessary. What OS are you on and what OS is the license server?

If restarting ABAQUS or the machine and renaming a job has not helped, then, as TGS4 pointed out, it must be a license issue. Perhaps, the license server itself or the communication between the client and the server (i.e., your network, the network cable, the network port, etc.) is down.
