How can I pause the analysis to turn off the computer and then when I want I can be able to turn on the computer to complete the analysis from the point where I was.
Pausing a job in Abaqus is basically possible by using the following commands:
abaqus job="job" suspend (pause)
abaqus job="job" resume (continue)
Unfortunately, by using these commands it will not be possible to turn off your computer and resume the simulation after booting, since the simulation data after a suspend will be stored in the memory and by rebooting, memory will be cleared.
The alternative would be to use the *RESTART, WRITE and *RESTART, READ commands in your simulation so you can run the calculation to a specific point and "restart" the following steps after a reboot.
