Abaqus Jobs: Microsoft HPC- Requesting Custom resources On the Fly

Hi, I am trying to run abaqus 2018 jobs on multiple nodes using mpi mode in HPC environment. The jobs are not being assigned to the nodes in mp_host_list defined in environment file.

Is there a way we can define the mp_host_list using command line. I know we can request one custom node using queue=local:RequestedNodesNODENAME Is there a similar command available to define multiple nodes along with cores requested for each node? Or is there a way to define the mp_host_list in a separate env file in working directory??
