A Finite Element Analysis Package for Engineering Application

Details of the HLRN Installation of ABAQUS

The ABAQUS versions currently installed are

  • ABAQUS 2020
  • ABAQUS 2019 (default)
  • ABAQUS 2018
  • ABAQUS 2017
  • ABAQUS 2016 (last version including ABAQUS/CFD)

Other versions of ABAQUS may be installed. Inspect the output of: module avail abaqus

Conditions for Usage and Licensing at HLRN

All usage of ABAQUS at HLRN is strictly limited to teaching and academic research for non-industry funded projects only.

Access to and usage of the software is regionally limited:

  • Users from Berlin (account names "be*") are allowed to use the ZIB license. Add the following line to your own ABAQUS environment file $HOME/abaqus_v6.env:
    abaquslm_license_file="1700@130.73.232.72"
  • Users from other german states can use the software installed on HLRN but have to use their own license from their own license server.

To use Abaqus you need to mail support[at]hlrn.de and ask to become a member of the UNIX group abaqus.

You can check your group membership by calling groups.

Usually, there are always sufficient licenses for Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit command-line based jobs. In contrast, we only offer 4 licenses of the interactive Abaqus/CAE (GUI). If you add the flag "#SBATCH -L cae" to your job script, the scheduler starts your job only, if CAE licenses are available. You can check the available CAE licenses yourself with: scontrol show lic

Example Jobscripts

Distributed Memory Parallel Processing

This is an example for an Abaqus 2019 job on 2 nodes with 40 tasks, each.
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH -t 00:10:00
#SBATCH --nodes=2  
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=40
#SBATCH -p medium
#SBATCH --mail-type=ALL
#SBATCH --job-name=abaqus.c2

module load abaqus/2019

# host list:
echo "SLURM_NODELIST:  $SLURM_NODELIST"
create_abaqus_hostlist_for_slurm

### ABAQUS parallel execution
abq2019 analysis job=c2 cpus=${SLURM_NTASKS} standard_parallel=all mp_mode=mpi interactive double

echo '#################### ABAQUS finished ############'

Single Node Processing

Abaqus 2016 and 2017 do not run on more than one node

This is an example for an Abaqus 2016 single-node job with 40 tasks.
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH -t 00:10:00
#SBATCH --nodes=1  ## 2016 and 2017 do not run on more than one node
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=40
#SBATCH -p medium
#SBATCH --mail-type=ALL
#SBATCH --job-name=abaqus.c2

module load abaqus/2019

# host list:
echo "SLURM_NODELIST:  $SLURM_NODELIST"
create_abaqus_hostlist_for_slurm

### ABAQUS parallel execution
abq2016 analysis job=c2 cpus=${SLURM_NTASKS} standard_parallel=all mp_mode=mpi interactive double

echo '#################### ABAQUS finished ############'
