Hi Nima,

In order to avoid ABAQUS ipc connection error, place this line by the end of your script:

odb.close(odb, write=TRUE)

or:

got to file > close ODB

It's been two years since you've asked, I hope it would help someone else looking for an answer!

Hi Sadik,

I'm using the following code to submit the jobs sequentially.

import abaqus

import abaqusConstants

for i in range(1,13):

mdb.jobs['Job-' + str(i)].submit(consistencyChecking=OFF)

mdb.jobs['Job-' + str(i)].waitForCompletion()

But after completing 2 jobs ABAQUS is crashing in several attempts and showing following error:

"GUI detected error while waiting for ipc connection to close.

ABAQUS Error: ABAQUS/CAE kernel exited with an error."

any suggestions?

Hi Morshed,

Try to place this bit of code after your second job. This is working for me:

odb.close(odb, write=TRUE)

And I usually reopens it by (depends on your use):

a = mdb.models[modelName].rootAssembly

session.viewports['Viewport: 1'].setValues(displayedObject=a)

Hope it helps!

when I try to modify the keywords via CAE, it breaks the connection, and gives out this ipc_CONNECTION BROKEN error in the terminal!!!! I don't know why!!!
