String-based batch queue parameters

The string-based interface for defining an analysis batch queue allows access to a fixed number of options. The parameters below can be used to construct command strings to control the execution of an Abaqus analysis. The only requirement is the string must be a valid command on the computer system where it is executed. See Defining a string-based analysis batch queue, for an example.

after_prefix

Optional prefix to be output as part of the submit command when the after option is specified on the command line. The default value is an empty string.

queue_cmd

Default command to be used to submit a batch job when the run_mode is set to BATCH. This parameter, once its placemarkers have been exchanged, must be a valid command on the computer system where it is executed. The values of the placemarkers are defined by input specified on the command line of the Abaqus execution procedure or by environment file parameters. The values of the placemarkers replace the placemarkers in the queue_cmd string. The following placemarkers are available:

%%

A percent (%) character.

%A

The after_prefix string is substituted for %A when the after option is specified on the command line.

%L

The log file name. This token will be replaced by job-name.log, where job-name is the value defined by the job command line option.

%P

The queue_prefix string (see description below) is substituted for %P when the queue option is specified on the command line.

%Q

The queue name from the queue command line option.

%S

The command script file name. This token will be replaced by job-name.com, where job-name is the value defined by the job command line option.

%T

The time from the after command line option.

%J

The job name from the job command line option.

%E

The token is substituted by the full path to the Python executable.

%O

The full path to the output directory.

queue_name

List of names for batch commands, typically used for submitting jobs to queues other than the default (defined by queue_cmd). Then, elsewhere in the environment file, each of these command aliases must appear on the left side of the equal sign, with the desired command string on the right. This command string has the same format as the queue_cmd parameter. It can use the replaceable placemarkers in its construction as long as the final result is a valid system command.

queue_prefix

Optional prefix to be output as part of the submit command when a queue name is specified. The default value is an empty string.
