Creating a New Job

When you create a job, Abaqus for CATIA V5 asks you to name the new job and associates it with the current analysis case. Jobs are stored in the analysis document and are maintained between sessions. By default, Abaqus for CATIA V5 uses the name of the CATIA analysis document as the basis for the name of the job you create, for example, the first job you create in the analysis file Fuselage.CATAnalysis will have a default name of Fuselage-1.

When you name a job, you cannot use the following characters: 

<space>$&*~!()[]{}|:;'`”,.?/\><
In addition, a job name cannot begin with a dash -.

Abaqus for CATIA V5 automatically creates a new job each time you create an analysis case.

This task shows you how to create a new job.

  1. Click the Create Job icon , or click Create from the Job Manager.

    The Create Job dialog box appears, and a Job objects set appears in the specification tree under the Jobs objects set for the current analysis case.

    Tip:  To edit an existing job, double-click the job name in the specification tree or in the Job Manager.

  2. You can change the job identifier by editing the Name field. This name will be used in the specification tree and in the Job Manager.

  3. Enter a description for the job in the Description field. Although Abaqus for CATIA V5 does not display the job description, if you open the output database with the Visualization module of Abaqus/CAE, the job description is displayed in the title block.

  4. Enter all the data necessary to define the job, and click OK. (For more information, see Navigating the Job Customization Options.)
