I am attempting to simulate quasi-static compression using the Abaqus/Explicit (2022) solver. The simulation runs successfully on my personal computer; however, when the same input file is submitted to an HPC cluster, issues arise. During troubleshooting on the cluster, we found that the simulation works as expected in sequential mode (using a single processor without parallelization), but fails with segmentation fault errors (snapshot attached) when parallelization is enabled (i.e., when using multiple processors).
According to the Abaqus documentation, Abaqus/Explicit supports domain-level parallelization via MPI, thread-based parallelization, and hybrid execution. The current submission script on the HPC cluster uses MPI-based parallelization, yet the simulation still terminates with the aforementioned error.
Could anyone with relevant experience or knowledge suggest what might be causing this issue and provide guidance on resolving it?
