Dear Mohsen Abyani

This type of error normally happens when we are in a parametric study. Especially when we have a reversed finite element modeling to optimize some parameters in which have great effects on the run time, outputs, and things like that. In my point of view, this error can occur for two reasons.

The first one:

CAE is not completed yet and we have entered the next iteration.

The other one:

The current CAE file has been faced some errors due to the job interruption.

Solution:

I think you need system('abaqus job=inputfile.inp interactive')

Interactive does not consider the system command finished until Abaqus has finished running. Without interactive Abaqus runs in the background while the system command is over and we have moved to the next one which is what we do not want.

Just use these Commands:

import os

import os.path

import time

* * *

jobname.submit()

while os.path.isfile('Your_Job_Name.lck') == True:

sleep(20)

Dear Ali Golbaf ,

Many thanks for your notice. I added the above code lines; however, unfortunately I still receive the same error. Finally, I found out that in some iterations with randomly generated input values, some of the mesh elements (Hex) fail for no apparent reason. So, in such conditions, I decided to employ Tet mesh elements instead, despite the fact that it can introduce some approximations to our analyses. This approach solved the previous issue although the following error is received only in few further iterations:

"VisError: No xy data was extracted using the provided options."

Your support is again appreciated.

Dear Mohsen Abyani

In your code, the ODB result extraction procedure must be precluded for OBD files that have not successfully Done!

Best regards.
