Submit the Analysis

The model is finished and is ready to be solved.

Note that unlike analyses that use ply-based Helius PFA user materials, xStiff is not required for analyses that use only cohesive user materials.

  1. Switch to the Job module.
  2. Create a job (Job > Create) named Tutorial_4.
  3. Submit the job for analysis (Job > Submit > Tutorial_4).

Note: Certain versions of Abaqus/CAE have been known to produce improper nodal coordinates during the mesh edit procedure. This will cause an error that prevents the analysis from running. If you have completed the tutorial and experience this issue, please use the Tutorial_4_Abaqus.inp file provided in the tutorial model downloads folder.
