The Job Manager, which is similar to other managers in Abaqus/CAE, allows you to do the following:

• Create an analysis job and associate the new job with a selected model or input file.

• Edit the selected analysis job.

• Copy, rename, or delete the selected analysis job.

  Note:  A job associated with a model can be copied only to a job associated with a model. A job associated with an input file can be copied only to a job associated with an input file.

In addition, the Job Manager allows you to do the following:

• Write an input file for a model-based job without submitting it for analysis.

• Perform a data check on a model.

• Submit a job for analysis.

• Continue an analysis to completion after performing a data check.

• Monitor the analysis as it progresses.

• View the results from a job.

• Kill a job that is currently running.

You can display the Job Manager by selecting JobManager from the main menu bar. Figure 19–1 shows the layout of the Job Manager.

The four columns of the Job Manager display the following:
