After completing optimization process in Abaqus/CAE I got an error when trying to open results.

"The results WORK_DIRECTORY\Opt-Process-1\TOSCA.OUT\Opt-process-1-Job_post.odb cannot be found. Do you want to combine the optimization results?"
-->YES
"Warning: Required optimization result directory WORK_DIRECTORY\('Opt-Process-1','Model-1','Task-1','Completed','6') not found."

There is no folder "Opt-Process-1\TOSCA.OUT\" generated, there is just a .out file "Opt-Process-1\TOSCA.OUT". Optimization process finished without any errors and Abaqus/CAE was running with admin rights.

Any thoughts, what went wrong?

I have made a mistake in writing the correct path of the missing folder. Instead of:
"The results WORK_DIRECTORY\Opt-Process-1\TOSCA.OUT\Opt-process-1-Job_post.odb cannot be found. Do you want to combine the optimization results?"

The correct path is:
"The results WORK_DIRECTORY\Opt-Process-1\TOSCA_POST\Opt-process-1-Job_post.odb cannot be found. Do you want to combine the optimization results?"

I have noticed that folder TOSCA_POST is created in the initial cycles of the analysis, no files are generated in it during analysis and is then removed when analysis finises.
 
I have successfully completed and viewed result of Abaqus/ATOM optimization in an older version of ABAQUS - 6.12. I have observed that in this version the results are written in [highlight #EF2929]ATOM_POST[/highlight] unlike in versions 6.13 and 6.14 where results are written in TOSCA_POST.

Any comments?
