I always have this error's message with my computer, What those it mine and
how can i solve it.
Error in job Job-1: Detected lock file Job-1.lck. Please confirm that no other applications are attempting to write to the output database associated with this job before removing the lock file and resubmitting..
I also had the same problem. Even changing the job name, this message keeps appearing. When I check the work folder, the .lck file does not appear (perhaps it was not created). Anybody could help me, please?
Check again where is this program running. Otherwise restart you PC again. Delete all the folder files (means you loose your all previous analysis). Check it again.
I reckon the first step is to know where your "Work Directory" is.
You can assign the work directory by going to the File Menubar and click "Set Work Directory".
This error, "Detected lock file [jobname].lck" usually pops up, based on my experience, either (1) when your job is still running and you started another job with the same name or (2) the job aborted because Abaqus crashed and I started a job with the same name.
The solution that I commonly apply is by finding and deleting the lock file (i.e., [jobname].lck) in the assigned work directory.
My last resort is to restart my computer, to terminate ABAQUS when it lagged/hanged, to be sure that the tokens are not being used. Then, check the work directory and delete the lock file.
Hope this helps, let us know if you have any additional queries. Cheers!
Thank you all. The problem was about importing an input file to the script. I've solved it by rewriting some lines of code related to step and field output requests.
