Submission

Use the Submission tabbed page to configure the basic attributes of your job, such as the job type, the run mode, and the run time. You can also use the submission page to submit jobs to a remote queue.

General

Use the General tabbed page to configure preprocessor printout and to specify a scratch directory. Preprocessor printout options are not available for a job associated with an input file; you must specify these options in the input file itself. You also use the General tabbed page to specify any user subroutines that are referred to by the model and the output format of the results.

Memory

Use the Memory tabbed page to configure the amount of memory allocated to an Abaqus analysis.

Parallelization

Use the Parallelization tabbed page to configure the parallel execution of an Abaqus analysis job, such as the number of processors to use.

Precision

Use the Precision tabbed page to specify either single or double precision for Abaqus/Explicit analyses. You can also choose the precision of nodal output that is written to the output database during the analysis.

You can also use the Abaqus environment file (abaqus_v6.env) to control the default value of many of the settings in the job editor tabbed pages. For more information, see Environment File Settings.
