Hi Ayad,

I just ran into and resolved this problem. I saw your same question online several places but no one had a reply answer. I will put it up online so others can see.

When you get the error message above, it means simulation using multi-cpus has finished, BUT the result data on all these cpus did not combine together, or combine into one file correctly.

Just type in command line "Abaqus convert", and it will ask you for a "Job identifier : ", you just type in your job name. Then you can try restart again.

Hi Ranny

Thanks answering the question...

Actually I followed your instructions and it worked for "Abaqus convert"

But when i restarted the job again I got another problem which is:

"The rigid bodies with the reference nodes contained in node set ErrNodeRefNodeNoMass have no mass associated with them and some degrees of freedom of the reference node are not restrained. Either mass must be defined or all of the translational degrees of freedom must be constrained. See the status file for further details.

The rigid bodies with the reference nodes contained in node set ErrNodeRefNodeNoRot1Axis have atleast one axis about which the rotary inertia magnitude is zero, and the rigid bodies have atleast one rotational degree of freedom which is unconstrained. Either rotary inertia must be defined at the reference nodes or all of the rotational degrees of freedom at the reference nodes must be constrained. See the status file for further details.

Abaqus/Explicit Packager exited with an error - Please see the status file for possible error messages if the file exists."

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT HOW TO SOLVE IT?
