Hi!

I have a script that works fine and produces the expected results. But when I add the two lines:

import os

os.chdir('D:\\...')

at the beginning of the script and run it, I receive the following error at the command line:

Global seeds have been assigned.

984 elements have been generated on instance: beam-1

Job job-1: Analysis Input File Processor completed successfully.

Error in job job-1: SIM database file is not a valid SIM file: C:\Users\AVAJANG\AppData\Local\Temp\MahdiAahi_job-1_14852\ScratchGenericSystem000001BE286972201.sim

Job job-1: Abaqus/Standard aborted due to errors.

I used to use the same script on another laptop with win 7 and python 2.7 and abaqus 6.14.2 installed, and no errors would pop up. But now on the current system with win 10 and abaqus 2018, I have to deal with the mentioned error!

Is there any way to fix this?

It would really be helpful if someone told me what to do!

Thanks.
