Question about abaqus command opening .f file

Submitted by fff10000 on

Hi all:

I am a master student and got a question about abaqus.

I have a model and want to open it. But when i type abaqus user = ***.f, it shows later that I need to input the 'identifier' and 'input file'. how can I solve this and what should I type in these parts?

BTW, there are many .inp files and I have no idea which one to choose.

Sincerely hoping for response.

Thanks a lot

if there are many input file,s do not coose the one that have  line like "include ****.inp" at the end and choose the one that contains the nodes and elements means the starting file. If your that specific input file name is say max.inp and the .f file is say mark.f

then use the command "abaqus job=max user=mark int" to run the subroutine. i hope it works
