Hi
I keep getting the following error message when I run any Abaqus job:
"XML parsing failure for job XXX. Shutting down socket and terminating all further messages. Please check the .log, .dat, .sta, or .msg files for information about the status of the job."
There are no .lck files to be deleted and everyone else using our academic license seems to be unaffected. Occasionally, I can run a model through writing an input file and running through command prompt. Although even this doesnt work everytime, when I check the dat file I get the following error message:
in keyword *CONFLICTS, file "Job-1.inp", line 1: Keyword *Conflicts is generated by Abaqus/CAE to highlight changes made via the Keywords Editor that conflict with changes made subsequently via the native GUI.
***NOTE: DUE TO AN INPUT ERROR THE ANALYSIS PRE-PROCESSOR HAS BEEN UNABLE TO
INTERPRET SOME DATA. SUBSEQUENT ERRORS MAY BE CAUSED BY THIS OMISSION
Any help would be greatly appreciated as my work is getting delayed a bit and I have no idea what to do!
Kind Regards
Alex
Alexander Hamilton, The error message 'XML parsing failure for job XXX. Shutting down socket and terminating all further messages. Please check the .log, .dat, .sta, or .msg files for information about the status of the job.' indicates a problem with parsing the XML input file. This could result from various issues, such as incorrect input, conflicts in the input file, or memory problems.
The initial solution suggested by ABAQUS is to diagnose the files. It states, 'Check .log, .dat, .sta, or .msg files: Look into these files for more information about the status of the job and possible error messages' (although this may not be the case based on my observations). Another potential reason is a conflict occurring in the input file between you and ABAQUS, where you might not be aware of the syntax of keywords (where and when to place them). It states, 'Conflicts in the input file: The error message "Keyword *Conflicts is generated by Abaqus/CAE to highlight changes made via the Keywords Editor that conflict with changes made subsequently via the native GUI," indicating conflicts in the input file. Review the input file for any conflicting changes (this is likely the issue you should be concerned about).
Note that in ABAQUS, the *CONFLICT keyword is used to indicate whether the text was generated by ABAQUS/CAE or by the Keywords Editor. It is used to resolve conflicts that occur when ABAQUS/CAE merges and writes the input file after modifying the model using the Keywords Editor. If a conflict arises during the merge, ABAQUS/CAE issues a warning message. It is recommended that you do not edit keywords that are supported by ABAQUS/CAE.

Engr. Tufail, Thanks so much for your help it is greatly appreciated!
I have managed to get it working and noticed that Keywords were getting added to my script after submitting a job or writing the input file. Once I delete these manually and submit the .inp file via command prompt the job seems to run as normal. (see image)
I was just curious if there was a way to stop this from happening?
A least it works now but it would be good to fully fix the problem
Kind Regards

Alexander Hamilton, I'm currently editing keywords without any conflicts in the input file. Perhaps you're unintentionally defining the same keywords in both the input file and the native GUI interface. Could you check?
