MPI errors on a linux cluster (ABAQUS/Explicit)
Hello everybody,
i try to perform a 2D orthogonal cutting simulation using the Johnson-Cook damage model in ABAQUS/Explicit. When simulated on my desktop PC (AMD Phenom quad core processor, Windows Vista 64bit), the simulation runs successfully. But if I try to run the simulation on a linux cluster, it ends with error messages related to HP-MPI. Moreover, if I run a 3D drilling simulation on the cluster, it runs successfully with no errors.
I use ABAQUS 6.7.5, CPE4R elements.
Example of error messages from *.log file:
ABAQUS/Explicit checked out 15 tokens.
<0 out of 15 licenses remain available>.
forrtl: error (75): floating point exception
MPI Application rank 10 killed before MPI_Finalize() with signal 6
forrtl: error (78): process killed (SIGTERM)
forrtl: error (78): process killed (SIGTERM)

Floating point exception does not occur in every simulation (I think it occurs only when a mesh i denser, i.e. 0.02 mm), MPI Application rank errors occurs in every simulation (except 3D simulation as mentioned above).
Cluster configuration is as follows:
OS: CentOS release 5.5 (Final) 64bit Kernel 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 x86_64
HW: 2 x IBM blade HS21 (Type 8853) in BladeCenter-H
HW blade: 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5440 @ 2.83GHz 8 GB RAM
Interconnect: 1Gbit ethernet
Could you post any advice?

Well, I found that it's
Well, I found that it's related to surface to surface contacts somehow. But I don't know how.
I have the same problem
I have the same problem like you describe. How did you solve it?
please can you help me.
I am post graduate student trying to simulate the orthogonal cutting process. I am stuck up in the chip separation. Please can you help me with the input file. It will be helpful for me to go a long way in the project. I wil be grateful for your help in this regard. Please can you send me your input file of turning process to prakashkmuthu@gmail.com.
Looking forward for your reply.
regrds,
