Create and manage Abaqus jobs. An agent skill from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub.

  • Works in 5 steps: Save the Model → Create the Job → Choose Submission Mode → …
  • User asks to run the analysis
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use This Skill, Prerequisites, Workflow: Running an Analysis and Key Decisions, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Abaqus Job is an agent skill from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub. Create and manage Abaqus jobs. Use when user asks to run the analysis, submit the job, execute the model, or generate input file.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `UPSTREAM.md` and `metadata.json`).

The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User asks to run the analysis
  • Execute the model
  • Generate input file

Example prompts

  • “/abaqus-job”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash(abaqus:*)

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Save the Model
  2. Create the Job
  3. Choose Submission Mode
  4. Wait and Monitor
  5. Check Results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 194ef49. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Bash(abaqus:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Abaqus Job loads about 824 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 383 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~824

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Abaqus Job Skill

This skill creates, submits, and monitors Abaqus analysis jobs. Use it when the model is ready to run.

When to Use This Skill

Route here when user says:

  • "Run the analysis", "Submit the job", "Execute the model"
  • "Generate input file", "Create INP file"
  • "Run in parallel", "Check job status"

Route elsewhere:

  • Reading results after completion → /abaqus-odb
  • Setting up the model → use other module skills

Prerequisites

Before job submission:

  1. Model is complete (geometry, material, mesh, BCs, loads, step)
  2. Model saved to .cae file
  3. No validation errors

Workflow: Running an Analysis

Step 1: Save the Model

Always save before creating a job. The .cae file must exist.

Step 2: Create the Job

Specify job name and model name. They can differ.

Step 3: Choose Submission Mode
User WantsAction
Run analysis and waitSubmit with waitForCompletion
Generate INP only (no run)writeInput
Run in backgroundSubmit without waiting
Run from command lineabaqus job=Name interactive
Step 4: Wait and Monitor

For interactive submission, monitor status until COMPLETED or ABORTED.

Step 5: Check Results

If COMPLETED, results are in .odb file. If ABORTED, check .msg file.

Key Decisions

Submit vs Write Input?
GoalMethod
Run analysis nowsubmit()
Only create INP filewriteInput()

Large model, multi-corenumCpus=N, numDomains=N
Single machinemp_mode=THREADS
Clustermp_mode=MPI
Show full SKILL.md (150 more words)Show less

What to Ask User

If unclear, ask:

  • "Ready to run the analysis?"
  • "How many CPUs for parallel?"
  • "Just need the input file, or run the analysis?"

Output Files

ExtensionContent
.odbResults database (use /abaqus-odb to read)
.datPrinted output (nodal values, summaries)
.msgSolver messages - check this if job fails
.staStatus file (increment progress)
.inpInput file (model definition)
.lckLock file (exists while job runs)

Troubleshooting

Status/ErrorMeaningSolution
COMPLETEDSuccessProceed to /abaqus-odb
ABORTEDFailedCheck .msg file for error
License not availableNo tokensWait or check license server
Memory errorModel too largeIncrease memory or coarsen mesh
.lck file existsStale lockDelete if job is not running

Validation Checklist

Before submitting:

  • Model saved (.cae exists)
  • Job name specified
  • Model name matches saved model
  • CPUs set appropriately
