I have an ABAQUS inp file containing about 132 million C3D4 elements and 25 miilion nodes. The file size is about 7.6 GB.
In my HPC with 64 bit Win 10, 512GB memory and 24 CPU cores, I imported the inp file into ABAQUS/CAE. After twenty miniues, an error prompted in Message area: "An out of memory error occured, or the ABAQUS/CAE memory limit was reached". Meanwhile, an error prompted in command window: "Error: memory allocation request failed. Allocation request: 18446744073709551615 bytes. Current footprint: 16158 MB".
Then I gave up importing the inp file into ABAQUS/CAE, and tried to directly submit the job to be solved via cmd command: call abaqus job=XXX int. After a few minutes, the analysis was aborted. I found such an error prompted in related *.dat file:
*Heading
*Node
*Element, type=C3D4
***ERROR: SYSTEM ERROR IN BELEMR - LOOP 60 LIMIT EXCEEDED
Would you mind kindly telling me how I can do to deal with this problem? I would sincerely appreciate your great help.
