The available units for memory sizes are mb (megabytes) and gb (gigabytes).
If the units are not specified, the size is assumed to be in megabytes.
- abq_ker_memory
-
The maximum amount of memory that can be allocated by the
Abaqus/CAE
and
Abaqus/Viewer
kernel, specified in MB (megabytes). If the
limit is exceeded,
Abaqus/CAE
displays an error message.
If the kernel memory size reaches the
abq_ker_memory value or the virtual memory
limit of the machine, the following message will be displayed:
Operation did not complete due to a memory allocation
failure.
For optimal performance, the memory limit should be set to a value less than
the physical amount of memory on the machine. The minimum setting allowed is
256 MB.
- scratch
-
Full path name of the directory to be used for scratch files. The default
value on Linux is the value of the $TMPDIR
environment variable or /tmp if
$TMPDIR is not defined. On
Windows
the default value is the value of the %TEMP%
environment variable or \TEMP if
%TEMP% is not defined. During the analysis a
subdirectory will be created under this directory to hold the analysis scratch
files. The name of the subdirectory is constructed from the user's user name,
the job ID, and the job's process number. The
subdirectory and its contents are deleted upon completion of the analysis.
- memory
-
Maximum amount of memory or maximum percentage of the physical memory that
can be allocated during the input file preprocessing and during the
Abaqus/Standard
analysis phase. The default value is 80% of the machine physical memory.
