Appendix E.3 - Abaqus/Explicit System Error Code - Linux

View common troubleshooting steps for Linux operating systems.

In Abaqus/Explicit 6.11 for Linux, the double precision packager (required by Simulation Composite Analysis) contains a bug which can result in a system error code or "illegal memory reference". The Abaqus incident number is SIR-110530. The bug is related to using a limited stack size. The workaround is to set the stack size to unlimited prior to submitting the analysis. This can be done by issuing the following command:

ulimit –s unlimited

This issue does not exist in Abaqus 6.10 or 6.12.
