Submit the Input File for Analysis

The input file is now ready to be submitted for analysis.

The method used to submit a Helius PFA job is the same as the standard method of submitting a job. No additional syntax required.

  1. Open a command prompt.
  2. Change the directory to the directory where the input file is located: 
    >>cd <directory containing input file>
  3. Submit the job as shown below (in this case with Abaqus 2016): 
    >>abq2016 job=Tutorial_2_Abaqus_xs

  4. After the simulation is complete, refer to the View and Interpret Results section of Tutorial 1 for instructions to view and interpret results.
