Maximum number of rows in Abaqus/CAE?

[GenericUser]

Hello,

I am defining a time dependent load in Abaqus CAE using the tabular option and it becomes unresponsive after I copy & and paste the two data columns in and click 'OK' At first my data was about 30,000 rows long but then I reduced it to 3,000 rows. It still hangs even though I left it 16 hours in the hopes that entering that much data is time consuming, but when I came back it was still unresponsive. Is there a maximum for the number of rows allowed in a table? Or is this just a bug I need to contact their Tech Support for? I am on Abaqus 6.11

Never mind, I found out what the problem was on a hunch. When copying data from Excel to Abaqus, you need to make discrete selections instead of highlighting & copying an entire column.
